The 2024 Kentucky Derby is scheduled to start this Saturday, May 4 and will be the 150th installment of the event. The main event for the Derby will start at 5:57 p.m. CT on NBC, which is available for fans to livestream for free by utilizing the free trials offered by Fubo TV or DirecTV Stream. In preparation for Saturday’s race, fans can see the list of all 20 horses and their jockeys here.

NBC’s coverage of the 2024 Kentucky Derby begins at 1:30 p.m. CT because there are a total of 14 races throughout the day. So, fans can watch numerous races before the main attraction begins later in the evening.

Although the main event only lasts for about 2 minutes, there is plenty of anticipation for the race this Saturday. There will be a total of 20 thoroughbred horses competing against each other for first place, as they try to take their first step in becoming the 14th Triple Crown winner this summer. Only two horses have won the Triple Crown since 1978, which showcases the difficulty of the achievement. Each horse competing in the Kentucky Derby must be exactly 3 years old, meaning each racehorse only has one chance at winning the Triple Crown.

With the exciting race on the horizon, fans can livestream all the action for free by using the free trials provided by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV. In order to prepare for the race, fans can check out the current favorites to win the race and the odds for all 20 horses.
