Free Kentucky Derby live stream: How to watch the 2024 Triple Crown horse race without cable

A few horses have jumped to the top of the odds list for the 2024 Kentucky Derby.

Ahead of “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sport”, Fierceness (odds 5 to 2) and Sierra Leone (odds 3 to 1) are the first betting favorites. Catching Freedom (8 to 1), Just A Touch (10 to 1) and Forever Young (10 to 1) round out the top five.

Of course, part of what makes the Kentucky Derby so exciting is the possibility of a shocking outcome. Just two years ago, Rich Strike (80 to 1) was the second-best longshot to win the race, and Country House scored a stunning victory in 2019 (65 to 1).

With the prize payout increasing to a record $3.1 million, this could be the most competitive derby in recent memory.

Here's everything you need to know about the Kentucky Derby, including how to stream the annual event.
