Cheltenham Festival 2024: How to watch and live stream races not on ITV

The Cheltenham Festival 2024 is set to kick off this afternoon with seven thrilling races at Prestbury Park.

The Unibet Champion Hurdle is the feature race at 3:30pm, with State Man the current odds-on favourite at 1/3. Seven races are set to get us started on opening day, with ITV's live coverage, hosted by Ed Chamberlain, expected to bring you all the build-up, reaction and analysis.

After the Champion Hurdle is Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle at 4:10pm. All of the first five races of the day will be screened live on ITV1 and ITVX. But that leaves two other races at 16:50 and 17:30 without any screen time, with fans still wondering how to tune in.

How can I watch every Cheltenham race on Tuesday?

ITV1 will be showing five of the seven races live across each of the four days. The final two races of the day will instead be broadcast on Racing TV and on a bookies' live stream service.
