Joint statement from Racing Victoria and Racing WA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Racing Victoria (RV) and Racing WA have today announced a multi-year deal that will see Western Australian thoroughbred racing broadcast on Racing.com from next week.<\/p>\n

Commencing with Northam on Wednesday, 2 July 2025, WA thoroughbred meetings will be broadcast nationally on all Racing.com channels, in a win for punters and racing enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Racing.com will integrate Racing WA\u2019s broadcast of WA racing, including on-course hosts, pre and post-race analysis, into its existing broadcast alongside premium Victorian racing, as well as South Australia, Hong Kong and feature international meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new partnership will also see WA racing feature on Racing.com\u2019s growing digital platforms alongside the lead Victorian product with analysis and tips for WA race meetings and major news stories.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes a fortnight after RV and the Seven Network announced a long-term extension and deepening of their broadcast partnership which will see Racing.com continue as Australia\u2019s only 24\/7 free-to-air sporting channel for another five years from 1 July 2025.<\/p>\n

Racing.com is broadcast nationally on free-to-air Channel 78 (metropolitan) and Channel 68 (regional), streamed via 7plus, Kayo and Racing.com digital platforms, and shown on Foxtel subscription Channel 529. <\/p>\n

\u201cRacing.com plays a pivotal role showcasing Victorian thoroughbred racing nationally and our partnerships with other states helps to build audience and engagement through our breadth of content,” RV Executive General Manager \u2013 Media, Content and Marketing, Andy Hoad said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome WA thoroughbred racing onto Racing.com and we expect it to be embraced by punters nationwide, who can now continue to enjoy quality live racing once the action has finished on the east coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing.com boasts an amazing suite of racing. From the very best Victoria has to offer, be that our Group 1s or beloved Country Cups, to elite racing from Hong Kong and the UK, through to all the great action from South Australia and now Western Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team at Racing WA are great to work with. They have high production standards and our ability to tap into their quality pictures and insights makes this an efficient and exciting expansion for Racing.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Racing.com audience can be assured of a fantastic coverage from some spectacular racetracks in the west each Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday along with other selected days throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Racing WA Chief Racing Officer David Hunter\u00a0said the partnership would extend the reach of WA thoroughbred racing coverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with Racing.com to further expose Western Australian thoroughbred racing to a national audience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing.com\u2019s coverage of Victorian and South Australian racing is great, so we\u2019re delighted to now join those states in showcasing the quality and diversity of WA racing to more viewers than ever before.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Kununurra in the State\u2019s north to Albany more than 3550km south, WA\u2019s racing landscape is truly unique and we\u2019re confident Racing.com\u2019s audience will enjoy every moment of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Racing.com and 7plus, all WA thoroughbred meetings will continue to be streamed via racingwa.com.au and Racing and Wagering Western Australia\u2019s TABtouch mobile app.<\/p>\n
