Watch every Royal Ascot race for free

ITV will be broadcasting every single race from Royal Ascot for free.

And you can warm up for the action each day with The Opening Show, from 9-10am Tuesday to Saturday.

Ed Chamberlin hosts the coverage and will be joined daily by former jockey and expert Jason Weaver.

Johnny Murtagh will be with the team on Tuesday and Wednesday, Steve Cauthen on Thursday and Sir Anthony McCoy on Friday.

Rishi Persad, Oli Bell, and Luke Harvey will be out and about on course daily with Richard Hoiles and Mark Johnson in the busy commentary box.

Matt Chapman and Brian Gleeson will take care of the betting side of things with Sally Ann Grassick and Adele Mulrennan looking at the horses.

Chris Hughes will be interacting with viewers at home and taking in the colour around the course, as will the lifestyle team of Good Morning Britain’s Charlotte Hawkins and Lorraine’s Mark Heyes.

Brough Scott will join the team to give his unique insight into the week as will Katie Nicholl on Tuesday on all things royal.

Keep an eye on the timings, though, as the coverage will switch from ITV1 to ITV4 at 5.50pm every day.
