2026 Champion Hurdle Live Streaming


The 2026 Champion Hurdle has developed into an open and shifting contest after injuries and setbacks to several leading contenders earlier in the season. Irish Champion Hurdle winner Brighterdaysahead and progressive star The New Lion have moved to the head of the market, while Constitution Hill still retains the ability to reassert himself if his jumping holds up. 

Lossiemouth remains a key player despite a likely return to the Mares’ Hurdle, and defending champion Golden Ace is back after another opportunistic Grade One success, adding further depth to an intriguing renewal.
