Greyhound Racing Live Streaming – This Week’s Schedule:

Greyhound racing has been around since the 1920’s. Back then betting on greyhound racing was illegal outside of horse and dog tracks and with horseracing an elite pastime only staged during the daytime often at countryside venues, greyhound racing prospered with tens of thousands flocking to see live greyhound racing.

Tracks quickly opened up across the UK and Ireland and their location inside the boundaries of major towns and cities made them easily accessible to the masses. Floodlights, something horseracing never had for another 80 years, meant working class people could watch greyhound racing live after work hours as a social outing.

Best Greyhound Live Streaming Betting Sites

The sport prospered until the 1960’s when newly legalized betting shops slowly took away much of dog racing’s business. But television did take an interest in the sport during the 1970’s and 80’s and, for armchair viewers, live greyhound racing on TV would often be broadcast on ITV’s popular Saturday afternoon show, ‘World of Sport’.

But for the past 20 years, many TV channels have seen their viewership diluted and free greyhound streaming is how most people now enjoy dog racing. And what’s not to enjoy as a greyhound racing live stream is the perfect betting medium. Six runners allows for forecasts, tricasts and each-way betting opportunities.

William Hill Live Greyhound Racing

  • William Hill:And as William Hill live greyhound racing fans will know – this is a betting site which truly embraces live dog racing – with races lasting between 15 and 45 seconds the action comes fast and is massively exciting with the result never clear until the runners cross the winning line.

Other Free Greyhound Streaming Sites

Aside from the William Hill greyhound live racing service which is up there with the best, several other online bookmakers also provide live greyhound racing on tv tonight – the best of which are Ladbrokes, Betfred and Coral.

Watch Greyhound Racing Live Online

Ladbrokes own two greyhound tracks, Crayford and Monmore, and with a big betting shop estate it’s no surprise that they offer a great place to watch greyhound racing live. That’s because they have a dedicated live studio which has a wealth of greyhound racing experts and form judges to guide its viewers.

Betfred can claim the same albeit they do now own any tracks of their own. Coral do, they are the proprietors of Hove and Sunderland and they also feature free greyhound racing live streams.

But the William Hill live greyhound racing stream just about tip the scales. The former owners of Sunderland and Newcastle greyhound tracks were long-term sponsors of the Greyhound Derby and were behind much of the live greyhound racing on TV for over a decade. The William Hill live greyhound racing presentation is a great experience because their dedicated channel, WHTV, has great presenters and slick production values.

How to Watch Live Greyhound Racing

To watch the greyhound racing live stream on these and most bookmakers sites a qualifying bet is normally required.

At William Hill RacingTV you will need to place a bet of £/€1 or more to view an individual race.

Suffice to say you will need to be an account holder and resident in the UK or Ireland (albeit you can watch greyhound racing live from many other countries).

Greyhound Racing Streaming Events

As with horseracing all greyhound racing is graded. Moderate dogs will against one another in lowly rated races which are given a graded rating (similar to handicaps in horse racing).

But once a dog has established itself better than a good grader it may run in ‘open races’ which are the equivalent to ‘listed’ races in horse racing. Better yet, again with striking similarities to horse racing, there’s the ‘majors’ which are categorized as Category 3, 2 and the best of all, Category 1.

Most major greyhound races in greyhound racing are Category 1 events with The Greyhound Derby being the biggest and best known of all. There is also the Category 1 St Leger which is a staying competition just like its horseracing counterpart.

Until recent times these races could only be viewed on Sky Sports TV but now they can only be watched via a bookmaker funded live stream. Other major Category 1 races which you can bet on ante-post and watch live include…

  • The Oaks
  • Essex Vase
  • The Olympic
  • Grand National (yes, it is a jumps race)
  • Produce Stakes
  • Eclipse
  • Ladbrokes Gold Cup.

Which Greyhound Racing Events Can Only be Streamed Online?

At the current time in the UK only Nottingham, Romford, Newcastle, Sheffield, Sunderland, Crayford and Poole are that tracks that provide live greyhound racing pictures to satellite TV.

So, in essence, you can watch greyhound racing live at all other tracks.

Where to Watch Greyhound Racing on TV

Up until the 1980’s the Greyhound Derby was broadcast live on the BBC. The broadcaster continued to show the TV Trophy competition which made up part of ‘Sportsnight’ until the 1990’s. But when the national broadcaster dropped live greyhound racing (like they later did with horse racing) Sky Sports picked up the baton broadcasting those two major competitions and dozens more almost every week.

But all good things come to an end and when they pulled the plug the sport was left to rely on RacingPost Greyhound TV, to cover the sport. They now broadcast seven nights a week on SKY channels 431 or 468, Freesat channel 250 and have a dedicated greyhound racing live stream which you will find online.
