How to watch EVERY race at Cheltenham Festival 2025

In the UK, ITV1 will be providing FREE coverage of the first SIX races of each day at Cheltenham Festival this year.

Fans in the UK will be able to live stream ITV’s coverage for FREE via the ITVX app/website.

ITV‘s broadcast of the event will begin at 12.45pm and end at 5pm each day.

Previously, ITV didn’t air the final two races of each day at Cheltenham, but this year, viewers are treated to an extra four races across the festival for absolutely NOTHING.

Racing TV is the only place to watch the Cheltenham Festival in its entirety, but you will be required to purchase a subscription to access the channel.

SunSport’s Cheltenham live blog will provide comprehensive coverage of EVERY race across the festival.

CHELSEA star Cole Palmer’s girlfriend Connie Grace lifted the lid on their relationship for the first time.

Palmer, 22, and Connie, 22, met when they were 17 years old but only went public together in November at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.

The couple are taking part in England’s Lions: A New Generation documentary, which will be out on Amazon Prime from Saturday, and were filmed dining in a swanky London restaurant.

The winger’s partner, who is a nail technician and Instagram influencer with 34,000 followers, opened up about their special bond.

Connie said: “We met when we were 17. I think he knew me through mutual friends so I think he probably had his eye on me.

“Oh, he’s warm and cuddly. Well, with me, hopefully with no one else.

“When you know how much someone wants something and you know that’s someone’s dream, you just feel so proud.”

Palmer is known for his ice-cold demeanor but he let his guard down while filming the documentary as he tried his luck with some new food.

The England international experimented by dunking some bread in oil and balsamic vinegar.

Connie warned her boyfriend he wouldn’t like the taste and she was proven right as he recoiled and cried “ew!”

That posed as an endearing act that got her laughing and explaining how Palmer hasn’t changed at all since his humble beginnings at Wythenshawe.

That is despite going on to play for Manchester City, where he won the treble before his £42.5milion move to Chelsea in 2023 where he quickly turned into one of the Premier League’s biggest stars.

Connie added: “Cole now is still the same Cole that I met when I was 17.

“Obviously, he’s changed, he’s grown up, and his life now is completely different, but he’s still the same boy, he’s still laid-back Cole.

“Cole will adapt to whatever situation he’s in. He’s not bothered that he’s that far from home because all he wants to do is play football and if it means leaving home and being in a place which is completely different to where he’s from, he’ll do it.

“He’s not bothered about the whole fame side of it and he’s not bothered what people think of him.

“He is only just bothered about scoring goals and doing well for his team, doing well for his country, and you’ve got to love him for that.”

Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on alcohol exports from the EU just a day after meeting the Taoiseach.

I would like to see the same wrath directed at other influencers who mistreat animals in the name of content, likes and money.

Hoards of horse racing fans have swapped their fascinators and tweeds for flip-flops and inflatable horse costumes to enjoy the thrills of Cheltenham in Benidorm.

Over halfway through the highlight of the National Hunt season and event organisers are being forced to come to terms with the reality of dwindling attendances and the reasons that have contributed to punters voting with their feet.

Specators were up in arms earlier this week at the prospect of paying close to £8.00 for a pint of Guinness but the price of alcohol is far from the only reason punters are staying away or opting for a whole new viewing experience entirely.

The rising cost of travel, accommodation (some standard hotels are charging £800 for a single night’s stay), tickets for the event itself, as well as food and drink all contributed to Wednesday’s crowd figure of just  41,949, the lowest for a single day since 1993.

It was a drop of nearly 5,000 from last year and it was a similar story on the opening day where the crowd was down to 55,498 from 60,181.

‘The decline is not catastrophic but nor are we seeing growing attendances,’ said Cheltenham’s new CEO Guy Lavender, who assumed his new role after seven successful years with the MCC.

Regardless of the inclement weather and the snow which fell on Wednesday morning, it is little wonder then that hoards of Brits have descended on traditional holiday venues to get their racing fix instead.

Graham White, a service technician from Glasgow, told The Times that he went to Cheltenham a few years ago but has now decided to swap it for Benidorm.

‘I’m never going back. I was suited and booted but it’s too posh, too snobby,’ the 39-year-old said.

‘I’d rather be here, soaking up the sun with a few drinks and having craic with the lads.’

The Winning Post represents one of Benidorm’s major attractions over the course of the jump season’s flagship event where pints cost just €1, a cash book is available all year and races are shown on a variety of screens.

‘My dad started this business 35 years ago,’ explains the bar’s owner Colleen Holm. ‘He worked in different bars out here as a bookie for 10 years and then set this place up.

‘I used to work in Ladbrokes and have been here 18 years now. Cheltenham’s always been big for us, but it’s probably over the last six or eight years that it’s really taken off around Benidorm.’

Despite the obvious attractions the Spanish resort has to offer, ITV racing presenter Ed Chamberlain insists the Festival and Cheltenham will always retain its charm and appeal.

Moreover, under the stewardship of Lavendar, Chamberlain is confident it won’t be long, with some careful tweaks and adjustments, before Cheltenham is again enjoying bumper crowds.

‘There is no doubt that Cheltenham’s hierarchy had started taking things for granted and it came back to haunt them when we ended up broadcasting pictures on ITV of issues such as spectators’ vehicles being towed out of swamp-like car parks,’ Chamberlain told the Daily Mail.

‘Perhaps the experiences of 2024 have led some people to stay away but I’m confident they will be returning soon from what I have seen in the last 48 hours. Guy Lavender, Cheltenham’s new chief executive, has been here, there and everywhere since the Festival started and he has set the right tone.

‘The racegoers I’ve spoken to on course have been overwhelmingly positive about everything, such as the greeting they received on arrival to the ability to walk around the course and the ability to buy food and drink.

‘You can feel that positivity in the atmosphere. If it keeps going like this — and I’ve no doubt Lavender, whose previous role was with cricket’s MCC, will ensure that is the case — then I’d expect stories about people wanting to go to Benidorm instead of the Cotswolds will disappear in due course.’

Congratulations are in order!
