How to stream the Melbourne Cup live

Although Channel 7 previously had the rights for Melbourne Cup live streaming, these rights were given to Channel 10 by the Victorian Racing Club (VRC). Additionally, the stream will also be available on Sky Channel to the subscribers of Foxtel’s sports package as well as on the Racing.com channel. You can expect the channels to offer complete coverage of the event with interviews and broadcasts of the other nine races leading up to the main race of the day.

If you don’t have a TV nearby, Channel 10 will offer Melbourne Cup live streaming through its online platform 10 play. The livestream will also be available on the Racing.com website. However, you should keep in mind that the service will be regionally locked so you won’t be able to access it outside Australia.

Online live streaming options don’t end there. A number of online bookmakers, such as Ladbrokes, bet365 and Unibet, will offer the live broadcast of the event to their registered customers. Usually, the operators will require you to have deposited funds into your account at least once, in order to give you access to Melbourne Cup streaming.

Can I watch the Melbourne Cup Stream on mobile?

You sure can. Both Channel 10 and Foxtel offer their services through mobile apps. You can find the 10 play app and Foxtel Go respectively on both iOS and Android. All you need to do is download the app and log in with your credentials, or sign up for the service. Note that in order to access Melbourne Cup through Foxtel Go, you’ll need to be subscribed to the service and the appropriate sports package.

Additionally, the sports betting operators we have mentioned already have their live streaming service optimized for mobile devices.
