Questions people ask
Where can I listen to horse racing commentary for free?
Two services play live commentary on every UK and Irish meeting for free, with no account: Timeform Radio (Betfair's commentary) and myracing (Racing Post's commentary). William Hill Radio is free too, but needs a William Hill account. We check all three every few minutes and say when.
Is racing commentary free?
Yes. Timeform Radio and myracing are free with no sign-in, and William Hill Radio is free with an account (no deposit or bet). Live pictures with commentary on Racing TV and Sky Sports Racing are paid; ITV shows the big Saturday and festival races free.
What happened to Racing Post Radio?
The old Racing Post Radio player closed, but Racing Post's commentary now plays free on myracing.com, with a play button for each of the day's meetings.
What happened to Paddy Power Radio?
Paddy Power stopped its free racing radio, the old "commentary centre". Ladbrokes and Coral radio have gone as well. Use Timeform Radio or myracing instead.
Do I need an account?
Not for Timeform Radio or myracing. William Hill Radio needs a free account, which means you must be 18 or over and in the UK or Ireland.
Can I hear greyhound racing commentary?
Yes. William Hill Radio has a greyhound station, free with an account, and Timeform Radio's page names Betfair's greyhound commentary too. Our greyhound page has the steps.
