The easiest way to catch a Melbourne Cup live stream is through, TenPlay – Channel Ten’s live streaming service.
As Channel Ten are the new exclusive rights-holders to the Melbourne Cup, they’ll also be the only way to watch the race on free-to-air TV. Luckily, their agreement also extends to digital rights, so you can access a stream of the race for free either via the TenPlay website or app.
There is another option, however, in Racing.com. You need to create a Racing.com account to access their stream, but it is there as an option should you need it.
If you’re a Kayo Sports subscriber, you’ll be able to access Racing.com’s coverage through your subscription.
Racing.com’s coverage will also be available through Foxtel, should you prefer to take full advantage of your existing pay-TV subscription. Racing.com is not, however, available on Foxtel GO or Foxtel Now.
At the time of publishing, TAB is currently the only betting provider that is offering a stream of the Melbourne Cup through their website and app but, predictably, you need to actually have a punt on the race to be able to access their stream.
It had been possible in the past to stream the Melbourne Cup live on Twitter, but those days are now over.
Sky Racing, additionally, do not have rights to stream or broadcast the Melbourne Cup live, so you’re better off using another service for today.
