Watching the Arc from the UK: TV and streaming guide
Kick-off is 15:05 UK time on Sunday. Here’s everything else you need to know before tuning in.
The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is broadcast in 60 countries. UK viewers have an easy way to follow it, and here is the essential information before Sunday.
Start time
The Arc itself goes off at 16:05 Paris time on Sunday 4 October. That is 15:05 in the UK, a straightforward one-hour time difference.
Where to watch
ITV has broadcast the Arc free-to-air in the UK for several years running, with coverage typically running across ITV1 and the ITVX streaming service alongside the main race. Sky Sports Racing has also carried the full card in past years. Details can shift closer to the day, so it is worth checking listings nearer the time to confirm.
A full weekend of racing
The Arc is only part of the picture. Across Saturday and Sunday, ParisLongchamp stages seven Group 1 races and four Group 2 races. That makes this one of the strongest racing weekends anywhere in the world.
Plan your Sunday
A full card builds to the big race in the afternoon. It is worth tuning in well before the Arc itself to catch the supporting Group 1 action first. For the full British challenge heading into the weekend, see our profile of Maltese Cross.
