Watch the King George at Ascot live this weekend and join thousands of racing fans coming together to witness some of Europe’s finest middle-distance horses.
This year marks the 76th running of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, but there is so much to see throughout the The King George Weekend at Ascot Racecourse, with 14 races across the two days.
Last year’s winner of the feature race, Calandagan, is favourite to win Saturday’s £2 million showpiece, with Benvenuto Cellini tipped as the primary threat.
ITV will screen the feature race, along with three others (schedule below), live and for free on ITV1 and ITVX on the second day of the King George Racing Weekend, while Racing TV (Sky channel 424/Virgin Media 536) will broadcast all the races via its subscription-based service.
The ITV coverage will be presented by Francesca Cumani and Ed Chamberlin, with analysis from Jason Weaver and Adele Mulrennan, reports by Matt Chapman and Mick Fitzgerald, and commentary from Richard Hoiles
