Racing Victoria & Seven announce broadcast extension

10th June 2025

Racing Victoria (RV) and the Seven Network today announced a long-term extension of their broadcast partnership to further showcase and grow the sport of thoroughbred racing. 

The new agreement will help foster a closer working relationship between RV and Seven in the broadcast and promotion of Victorian thoroughbred racing across Australia. 

It also cements Seven’s standing as the home of live and free thoroughbred racing and ensures that sports fans can continue to enjoy unprecedented access year-round to Victorian thoroughbred racing and much more.

For the past decade, RV-owned and operated Racing.com has been Australia’s only 24/7 free-to-air sporting channel showcasing Victorian thoroughbred racing and that will continue for another five years from 1 July 2025. 

Racing.com will be broadcast on free-to-air Channel 78 (metropolitan) and Channel 68 (regional) across the nation, with the broadcast quality to be further enhanced across the next 12 months.

In addition, Racing.com will be accessible daily on 7plus Sport where it will garner more prominence alongside Seven’s premium sporting products for those streaming or watching on the go.

The announcement coincides with plans for Racing.com to expand its coverage of Western Australian racing as Seven has done, alongside broadcasting Victorian, South Australian and Hong Kong racing and feature international meetings, including Royal Ascot next week.

In addition to its daily Racing.com broadcast, Seven also showcases thoroughbred racing from Victoria and New South Wales, as well as feature meetings from Queensland and South Australia, each Saturday afternoon across the channels of Seven and 7plus Sport.
