Why watch live Cheltenham Gold Cup horse race streaming with a VPN

This year, the Cheltenham Gold Cup will take place on Friday, March 13th. Some of the horses that are expected to do well include Santini, Bristol de Mai and De Rasher Counter. However, tuning in to watch these and other horses compete may be a struggle for some thanks to blackouts.

You can think of Hotspot Shield VPN as a kind of virtual passport that will let you appear to be anywhere in the world when you access the internet. You can use it to get an IP address from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, or nearly any other country on the planet. Once you’re logged in, an entirely new assortment of foreign TV apps will become available to you.

For example, let’s say you live in the United States and you’re looking for a Grand National live stream. You find out that ITV — a free British streaming service — will be live streaming the event via ITV Hub. Ordinarily, licensing restrictions would stop you from tuning in. But if you subscribe to Hotspot Shield, that limitation goes away. All you have to do is log in to one of our British servers before you open the ITV Hub app and press play.

How to watch live horse race streaming for free

Horse racing fans around the world use Hotspot Shield to watch Churchill Downs racing, the Kentucky Derby, and the Grand National Derby. The UK’s ITV Hub is just one of many free TV apps that broadcast these and many other horse racing events. Another one is Horse Races Now, which is only accessible in America. IF you live outside of America, you’ll need to use a VPN and connect to a US server location. If you log into a server location in Ireland, you can watch horse racing for free on RTE Player, as well.

Yet another way to watch horse racing online for free is by signing up for a free trial of a paid streaming service. Paid streaming services tend to offer better picture quality, a DVR, and apps for several different TV devices. As long as you terminate your subscription before your trial ends, you won’t pay a thing — and since all the major paid streaming services offer free trials, you can just keep hopping from one streaming service to the next.

How to stream all the major horse races

With Hotspot Shield, you can gain access to all the best horse racing events. All you have to do is pick a VPN server location that matches whatever streaming service you intend to use. Here is a quick guide to help get you started.

How to watch Kentucky Derby live streams

In the United States, NBC has signed a deal to carry Kentucky Derby races until 2025. All you need is a subscription to a streaming service that carries NBC to watch the main events. NBC will only let you stream if you have cable or a streaming service. There’s a workaround for this: AT&T Now, fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, PlayStation Vue, Sling TV and YouTube TV all offer free trials and they all carry NBC. They are not officially available outside the US, but if you live outside the country, just use Hotspot Shield to connect to a United States VPN server.

How to watch Grand National live streams

The free British streaming service ITV has signed a deal to broadcast the Grand National Derby until 2020. Even if you live outside the UK, you can tune in with Hotspot Shield VPN. Just connect to a British VPN server and then open the ITV Hub app. This will give you full access to all the content that the streaming service provides, and you can stream Grand National live from anywhere.

How to watch Churchill Downs live streams

Churchill Downs is most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby, but the racetrack hosts all kinds of other events throughout the year as well. NBC Sports Network will air Churchill Downs derbies stateside, so you can use a free trial of any streaming service that carries that channel to tune in. A gambling site called TVG offers a streaming service called WatchTVG. It carries many Churchill Downs events. It’s not free, but there is a seven-day free trial.
