The 36th Breeders' Cup sees the event return to Santa Anita Park in California for the first time since 2016. You can tune in no matter where you are in the world, using our Breeders' Cup live stream guide below,
With a bumper $30 million prize pot spread over the two-day meeting, it's one of the most eagerly anticipated weekends in the flat season.
There are nine top-class contests set to take place on Breeders' Cup Saturday, with the grand finale being the $6 million Classic run as the final race of the day.
A 1 and 1/4 miles long race on dirt with a field of up to 14 horses, while the the Kentucky Derby may be more widely known among casual racing fans, the Breeders' Cup Classic is considered by seasoned punters as the premier thoroughbred horse race of the year in the States.
Trained by three-time winner Bob Baffert, this year's favorite is McKinzie, who enters this year's Classic as a far more experienced horse from the one which finished 12th in last year's race. Also heavily backed is Code of Honor, following the three-year-old's win over the much fancied Vino Rosso in the Jockey Club Gold Cup in September.
Read on to find out how to live stream the Breeders' Cup from anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own TV, mobile phone or tablet.
