The 2024 Kentucky Derby will take place on Saturday, May 4th at 6:57 p.m. ET. The race will be televised on NBC, and there will also be undercard races televised on USA Network starting at 12:00 p.m. ET. If you don’t have cable or access to those channels, there are a number of ways to watch a live stream of the Kentucky Derby, including three different free options.
Fubo, YouTube TV, and DirecTV Stream all offer a free trial that allows you to watch the Kentucky Derby and all of the prep races without paying anything. The Fubo free trial lasts for seven days, while YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream each give you five days for free.
If you’ve already used up your free trials for Fubo, DirecTV Stream, and YouTube TV, you can still watch the Kentucky Derby on Peacock with a subscription to their “Premier” plan, which costs just $6 per month or $60 for the year.
