Where to Watch the Racing in Melbourne

Last updated October 24, 2026

Frequently asked questions

Which pub is showing the racing in Melbourne?
12 venues in Melbourne have public evidence of showing the racing: the venue's own post or website, a club or fan-group listing, a Google review, or local coverage. Every listing on this page shows its evidence: a linked post or page from the venue, a club or local coverage, or a quoted Google review. Check the venue's current listing for the specific game or event you want to watch.
Where can I watch the Grand National in Melbourne?
The sections on this page split them by what the evidence says: 1 has evidence of showing the racing regularly; 11 have evidence of a specific screening. Check with the venue for sound, opening hours and booking requirements.
When are the next Horse Racing races?
Next up: Cox Plate on Sat 24 Oct 2026 (time to be confirmed); Victoria Derby Day on Sat 31 Oct 2026 (time to be confirmed); Melbourne Cup on Tue 3 Nov 2026, 04:00 UTC. 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 Melbourne put together?
It is built from public evidence only: a venue's own posts and website, club and fan-group listings, Google reviews, and local press. We keep hospitality venues only, drop anything we cannot source, and refresh the Melbourne list as new evidence appears.
