ITV Racing: will broadcast the first six races on each day of the festival

Racegoers may not be able to attend the Cheltenham Festival this year but they can still follow the top-class action from home on ITV and Racing TV, alongside several online shows from the Racing Post.

Before racing

The Opening Show, ITV Racing's daily preview programme, will be broadcast on ITV4 from 9.30am on all four days of the festival. On Tuesday, host Oli Bell will be joined by legendary rider Ruby Walsh.

What A Shout, sponsored by bet365, will be shown on the Racing Post's YouTube channel from 9am. Dave Orton will be joined by special guests to preview the day's action and give their best bets.

You can also get expert analysis in the Racing Post Postcast, which is released every afternoon and looks forward to the next day's racing.

Racing TV's preview offering, Mark Your Card, will be broadcast from 10am every day before its live racing coverage begins at 12.45, fronted by Nick Luck and Lydia Hislop alongside several others.

During racing

ITV will broadcast the first six races of each day on its main channel live from 1pm to 4.30pm, while Racing TV will show all 28 races.

Those looking for an interactive way to follow the action can tune in to Racing Post Live, in partnership with the Betfair Exchange. The panel will react to the live action and offer their festival advice.

You can also watch every Cheltenham Festival race on your phone, tablet or computer by logging on to a bookmaker account and streaming via the Racing Post website or mobile app.

After racing

Those looking for more of a festival fix can join Ross Brierley, Coral's Simon Clare, Tom Segal and Paul Kealy on In The Know from 6pm every evening.

It will be shown live on YouTube on the Racing Post channel and the expert panel will discuss all of the day's racing and look ahead to the following day's action.
