Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To watch the Grand National in 2027, UK viewers can use free-to-air ITV Racing or ITVX, while Racing TV offers a paid alternative. The next race is scheduled for Saturday, April 10, 2027, at 4:00 p.m. British Summer Time at Aintree; U.S. broadcast rights have not yet been confirmed.

The viewing answer is different by territory. The official 2027 information confirms the UK broadcasters, but international services—including the U.S. broadcaster—must be checked again closer to race day.

  • Racing TV is the other official UK broadcaster and offers television and online viewing, but it is generally a paid racing service.
  • The 2027 U.S. broadcaster has not been officially confirmed in the sources reviewed; FanDuel carried the 2026 U.S. broadcast, but that does not confirm 2027 rights.
  • The scheduled 4:00 p.m. UK start is 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time and 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time in the United States, subject to the final published schedule.

Can I watch the Grand National free in the UK?

Yes. ITV Racing is the principal free-to-air route for UK viewers. The official 2027 viewing page lists ITV Racing as a live broadcaster and provides online streaming through the ITV website. ITV’s rights announcement also says its four-year agreement covers UK horse racing from 2027 through the end of 2030, including the Randox Grand National, across ITV1, ITV4, STV, STV Player and ITVX.

That rights announcement establishes ITV’s broad distribution arrangement, but it does not yet provide the final Grand National-specific 2027 broadcast schedule. Do not assume a particular ITV1 or ITVX programme start time until ITV publishes the race-day listings. ITV Racing is currently listed on Sky channel 103 and Virgin Media channel 103 by the Jockey Club; channel lineups can change.

For the official rights details, see ITV’s announcement of UK horse-racing coverage through 2030 and the Jockey Club’s Grand National viewing guide.

How do I watch the Grand National on Racing TV?

You can watch the Grand National through Racing TV’s television services or its online products. The Jockey Club lists Racing TV as an official live broadcaster for the 2027 race and lists Racing TV on Sky channel 426 and Virgin Media channel 536.

Racing TV is generally a paid racing service unless access is already included in your television package or a promotion. The service describes live British and Irish racing through television, web, mobile and connected-TV products on its official Racing TV Watch page.

If you are specifically looking for a Racing TV live stream, check the current subscription, package and event-access terms before race day. Racing TV’s domestic and international products are separate, so a subscription that works in one territory should not automatically be assumed to work in another.

How can viewers in the United States watch the Grand National?

U.S. broadcast details for the 2027 Grand National have not yet been officially announced in the sources reviewed. The Jockey Club’s current 2027 viewing page confirms the UK broadcasters but does not name a U.S. broadcaster.

For comparison, the Jockey Club’s international distribution announcement for the 2026 Grand National listed FanDuel as the U.S. live broadcaster and Fox Sports for U.S. highlights. That announcement applied to the race held on April 11, 2026, so it must not be treated as confirmation that FanDuel or Fox Sports will carry the April 10, 2027 race.

U.S. viewers should check the Jockey Club’s official international broadcaster information closer to race day. Do not rely on an old FanDuel listing, assume that Fox Sports will show the live race, or treat a VPN as an official broadcaster or a guarantee that bypassing geographic restrictions is allowed under a streaming service’s terms.

The 2026 announcement reported distribution to more than 130 countries through regional partners, including FanDuel in the United States, ESPN and Disney+ in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Sky Racing and Racing.com in Australasia. Those partners illustrate how international distribution works, but they are not a confirmed 2027 rights list. Read the Jockey Club’s 2026 international distribution announcement only as historical context.

Can I watch the Grand National outside the UK?

Yes, but the official live broadcaster depends on your country. International rights are territory-specific, and the 2027 international partner list was not included in the official information reviewed for this article.

Racing TV International advertises live horse racing and seven-day catch-up viewing worldwide through a service separate from domestic Racing TV. Its help information listed a one-month minimum term and a price of £29.99 per month at the time of research, but price, terms and event availability can change. Check Racing TV International’s current help information before subscribing and confirm that the 2027 Grand National is available in your territory.

The safest process for viewers outside the UK is:

  1. Open the Jockey Club’s official viewing guide as race day approaches.
  2. Look for the broadcaster listed specifically for your country or territory.
  3. Check whether the service carries the live race or only highlights.
  4. Confirm the subscription price, blackout rules, device support and local start time directly with the broadcaster.

What do I need to watch the online stream?

You need an internet connection and a compatible browser, mobile device, smart TV or connected-TV setup supported by the chosen broadcaster. The official sources confirm web and connected-TV viewing options, but they do not require or recommend a particular streaming device.

If your television does not support ITVX or Racing TV, an optional connected-TV streaming device may let you display a supported web or streaming app on the television. A device is not necessary if you can watch through a compatible smart TV, computer, phone or tablet. Check the broadcaster’s current compatibility list before buying hardware, because app support and regional availability can change.

Grand National viewing checklist

  • Save Saturday, April 10, 2027, and the scheduled 4:00 p.m. BST race time.
  • UK viewers should check ITV Racing and ITVX first for free-to-air coverage.
  • Check Racing TV if you already have access to its paid service or want dedicated racing coverage.
  • U.S. viewers should wait for a confirmed 2027 rights announcement rather than assuming the 2026 FanDuel arrangement continues.
  • Viewers elsewhere should verify the local rights holder and whether the service carries live coverage.
  • Test the account, app, browser and television connection before race day.
  • Recheck the Jockey Club viewing page and the broadcaster’s listings shortly before the race because schedules, prices and platform lineups can change.
