Does Racing TV show all horse races?

Racing TV will broadcast live horse racing from 62 racecourses.

The Racing TV experience of unrivalled coverage from the 62 racecourses in Britain and Ireland equates to over 70% of all horse racing from Britain and Ireland. So although not showing all horse races it shows the biggest percentage of any channel.

As the market leader the Racing TV channel shows nearly 90% of all Group and Graded horse races.

Racing TV will have only one day without any live horse racing outside of Good Friday and four days at Christmas.

What Happens If Races Start At The Same Time on Racing TV?

Racing TV takes pride in showing all horse racing events in their entirety on the dedicated channel.

When there are unavoidable clashes, the recordings of the race (not shown) will still be shown on the linear channel.

The times of horse racing events are usually staggered to avoid this problem, but some race times can be delayed.

Depending on time availability Racing TV might only be able to show the recording of the finishes (if it is a busy day of racing like Bank Holidays and Boxing Day).

Racing TV has its very own dedicated live streaming service – called Racing TV Extra – which will be accessible on the RTV website, their mobile and TV apps.
