Why not watch the 2024 Grand National in person? This solution to watching the Merseyside marathon might sound a bit extreme to the ‘once-a-year’ punters but it’s still an option. Enjoy the atmosphere of the Grand National by being there yourself, although tickets are selling out fast.

How to watch the Virtual Grand National 2024?

Although it was put on hold last year, the early murmurs are that the Virtual Grand National will return for 2024. Final schedules will be confirmed in the week of the race, with the Virtual Grand National most likely to be screened on ITV on Friday 12th April 2024, and again in the hours leading up to the race.

The Virtual Grand National is one of the most accurate insights into how the real event might play out on the day. Exact data about each runner, jockey, form and even the ground is used to formulate the virtual race.

Unlike real racing, the odds are close reflections to the actual chances of a virtual Grand National runner with the computer favourite getting more chance than an outsider. Though remember, a random number generator ultimately decides each runner’s fate.
