How to watch the Kentucky Derby for free and around the world
The Kentucky Derby officially hits our screens today, but if you're still wondering where to catch the 152nd sprint you've come to the right place. Blink and you'll miss the actual race, but coverage is kicking off well ahead of that 6:57pm ET start time. I'm showing you how to watch The Kentucky Derby in all its splendour right here.
Quick links:US: Peacock ($10.99 per month / FREE with Walmart Plus)
UK: Sky Sports via Now TV (£14.99 day pass)
AUS: Kayo Sports (7 day free trial)
Watch anywhere: NordVPN (30 day money back guarantee)
Coverage will begin from 12pm ET over on Peacock, with NBC picking up its main broadcast from 2.30pm ET - this is when we'll see that celebrity guestlist. Over in the UK, Sky Sports Racing will commence coverage at 8.30pm BST, ready for the race start at 11.57pm BST.
How to watch the Kentucky Derby in the US
The Kentucky Derby will be broadcast on NBC in the US, so you'll be heading to Peacock for streaming. You'll need the Premium membership to have full access to the Kentucky Derby, which usually comes in at $10.99 monthly / $109.99 annually.
Walmart Plus members can already watch for free, though. The subscription comes with Peacock Premium included so there's no additional fees to pay. The best part, even those who aren't members can take advantage - Walmart Plus is currently running a free 30 day trial.
How to watch the Kentucky Derby in the UK
Sky Sports Racing will be providing UK fans with Kentucky Derby live streams this weekend. That means those without an active Sky bundle can also watch via Now TV. Sky Sports Racing is one of the channels included in the Sports Day package, available for £14.99. If you're after longer term coverage, monthly plans roll from £27.99.
How to watch the Kentucky Derby in Australia
Kayo Sports has the Kentucky Derby for Australian viewers this year, with a seven day free trial for its sports content. Once that's up you're looking at a Standard membership for $29.99 per month.
How to watch the Kentucky Derby around the world
If you find yourself travelling over Kentucky Derby weekend you may be locked out of your usual streams. That's because a lot of services will restrict their content to your home country only, leaving you stuck when abroad.
Thankfully, there's a workaround. A VPN can circumvent these geoblocks by changing your IP address to appear as if you were sitting at home. That means you can tune into your live stream as if you were on your very own couch.
We recommend Nord VPN at the moment. It's packed with extra safety features and comes with a 30 day money back guarantee.
NordVPN | Save up to 76%
NordVPN is currently up to 76% off with three extra months included for free. That means you can get monthly rates down as low as $3.09 with a 30 day money back guarantee.

We recommend VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
We're rounding up all the current ESPN Plus prices as well as the latest Peacock TV prices and Hulu free trials as well.
