Frequently asked questions
- Which pub is showing the racing in Chicago?
- 10 venues in Chicago have a real, checkable signal that they show the racing: the venue's own post or website, a club or fan-group listing, or local coverage. Every listing on this page links back to that source.
- Where can I watch the Grand National in Chicago?
- The sections on this page split them by what the evidence says: 3 show the racing week in, week out; 7 hosted a one-off screening we could verify.
- When are the next Horse Racing races?
- Next up: Cheltenham Festival, Gold Cup day on Fri 19 Mar 2027 (time to be confirmed); The Derby (Epsom Derby) on Sat 5 Jun 2027, 15:00 UTC; Royal Ascot, Ladies' Day (Gold Cup day) on Thu 17 Jun 2027 (time to be confirmed). The reliable venues tend to be the ones that carry a dedicated racing channel all year rather than only switching it on for the big festivals, so it is worth checking whether a pub shows the racing every Saturday or just on National day.
- How is this Horse Racing list for Chicago put together?
- It is built from public evidence only: a venue's own posts and website, club and fan-group listings, and local press. We keep hospitality venues only, drop anything we cannot source, and refresh the Chicago list as new evidence appears.
