How to watch Grand National 2025: TV channel, live stream and phone
Your guide to watching the Grand National 2025 on TV and live stream this week.
The Grand National returns this weekend as a 34-strong field bids to win racing's most famous ride.
The Aintree course is a true test of both horse and rider – with 30 jumps across the four-and-a-quarter-mile route.
The fences are much bigger than at most jump races but so are the rewards, as the prize fund totals more than £1 million and the winner will earn nearly £600,000.
Stumptown, Iroko, Intense Raffles, Hewick, and Vanillier have been among the favourites ahead of Saturday, while 2024 winner I Am Maximus is looking to follow Tiger Roll's example and become just the second horse to defend the Grand National crown since the iconic Red Rum.
No matter which horse is being backed, the race has become must-see TV in households and pubs up and down the country – and this year will be no different.
