How to live stream the 2020 Melbourne Cup

Nearly everyone in Australia will stop what they’re doing for the Melbourne Cup and it’s simple to watch action no matter where you are.

The Melbourne Cup is must-watch viewing, but what if you can’t get to a TV when the race starts at 3pm on Tuesday?

Don’t stress. As long as you have internet access on your personal device (a phone or laptop, for example) you can still live stream the race that stops the nation to ensure you don’t miss a second of the action.

Channel 10 is broadcasting the event on free-to-air TV, and you can stream the race live on the network’s online platform 10play — which you can reach by clicking here.

Racing.com is also broadcasting the Melbourne Cup online. You can stream the race by going to their website, while you can also watch their coverage by opening it through sports streaming platform Kayo.

Additionally, you can also stream the race via the TAB app if you have an account with the betting company.

It’s also easy to access audio streaming of this year’s race, which will take place without crowds at Flemington because of COVID-19 restrictions.

ABC Grandstand, RSN Racing, Sky Sports Radio, TABradio and SEN are all broadcasting the Melbourne Cup and have live online streaming options on their websites and apps.

There are also options for those Aussies abroad desperate to keep in touch with the day’s events. If you’re living in the UK, Sky Sports is your go-to.

Subscribers can log into the Sky Go app and stream from there, or if you’re not a subscriber, you can pay for a Sky Sports Pass on Now TV to make sure you don’t miss out.
