The Grand National is the horse race that the world stops to watch – and you can catch it on the telly box courtesy of Paddy’s pals at ITV Racing.
Ed Chamberlin and the rest of the gang will bring you live coverage of 15 races from the Aintree Grand National Festival 2024 – including the big one on Saturday – right into your living room, which is ideal if you don’t have a ticket to be there in person!
There are three dreamy days of top-level racing from the Merseyside track with the likes of Bob Olinger, Gerri Colombe and Shishkin in action before Corach Rambler bids to defend his Grand National crown.
You’ll recognise a few faces on ITV Racing’s coverage as our columnists Ruby Walsh, Mick Fitzgerald and Matt Chapman are all set to offer their expert eye and betting advice during the three-day fiesta.
The Opening Show on ITV4 sets the scene on each morning of the Aintree Grand National Festival before the live coverage on ITV1 gallops into action from 2pm.
ITV Racing can only show five of the seven races on each day of the Aintree Grand National Festival, however, so you’re probably wondering how you can watch the other two, right?
Enter, Uncle Paddy! The big man’s put enough coins in the meter to live stream every race in Great Britain and Ireland for FREE on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app.
