Sky Sports Racing is a dedicated horse-racing channel offering extensive live coverage of racing from Britain and around the world. Launched in 2019 as the successor to At The Races, the channel provides viewers with live race meetings, previews, analysis, interviews, results and expert opinion throughout the racing calendar. Its coverage combines live action from racecourses with detailed insight into form, horses, jockeys, trainers and the latest developments across the sport.
A central part of the channel’s schedule is Raceday Preview, which looks ahead to the day’s fixtures and highlights the horses, races and runners attracting attention. This is followed by Raceday Live, bringing viewers live racing from the UK and international meetings, with reporters providing updates and interviews from racecourses. The channel also provides extensive coverage of major events and prestigious meetings, including Royal Ascot and other important fixtures throughout the season.
Beyond live racing, Sky Sports Racing features programmes that explore the wider world of horse racing. Regular shows such as Racing Debate, Get In and Monday Night Racing provide discussion, analysis, interviews and reaction to the biggest stories and performances. These programmes give viewers an opportunity to look beyond individual races and consider the strategies, personalities and talking points shaping the sport.
The channel also places considerable emphasis on expert analysis, helping viewers understand the form and statistics behind the runners. Its analysts and former jockeys offer assessments of horses and races, while on-course reporters bring viewers closer to the action through interviews with jockeys, trainers and other racing figures. This combination of specialist knowledge and trackside reporting gives the coverage both analytical depth and a strong connection to the sport itself.
The channel’s leading on-air team includes Alex Hammond, who serves as its full-time lead presenter, alongside prominent presenters and racing experts such as Gina Bryce, Josh Apiafi, Luke Harvey, Jason Weaver, Matt Chapman, Mick Fitzgerald, Hayley Moore, Kevin Blake, Jamie Lynch and Seb Sanders. Sky Sports Racing’s current coverage also features reporters and trackside presenters who provide live updates from racecourses; its 2026 live programming has included Luke Elder and Leonna Mayor, while Seb Sanders has also featured prominently as an analyst and presenter.
