The Epsom Derby on TV: Live Streaming Details
The Epsom Derby will be shown live and free in the UK on ITV1, with full coverage also available to stream on ITVX. Start time is at 15:30 BST on Saturday 6th June 2026.
The Derby at Epsom Downs on Saturday afternoon is the biggest race on the British Flat calendar. First run in 1780, it is the fourth Classic of the season and one of the most coveted prizes in the sport.
Epsom’s unique track sorts out the horses quickly. The undulating course features a 150-foot elevation change from the top of the hill down to Tattenham Corner, and it has a long history of producing surprises even when the market looks settled.
Aidan O’Brien is chasing a fourth consecutive Derby win this year. He already holds the record with 11 victories at Epsom, and his Ballydoyle stable is once again well represented in the ante-post market.
