One of the highlights of the British sporting summer kicks off in just over a week's time, as Royal Ascot 2024 begins on Tuesday, June 18th.
Royal Ascot remains the premier meeting for flat racing during the summer. Over five spectacular days, eight prestigious Group One races will take place and prize money totalling over £10m will be handed out to the winning connections.
For the second year in a row, all 35 races will be shown live on ITV Racing. Let's take a look through the racecards for all five of Royal Ascot and what channel you can watch each race on.
Three Group One races headline the opening day of Royal Ascot. One of which is the newly-named King Charles III Stakes (formerly the King's Stand Stakes), to celebrate a year since the new king's coronation.
Top milers get the meeting underway in the Queen Anne Stakes. The last of Tuesday's Group Ones is the St James's Palace Stakes, where the 1-2 from this year's 2000 Guineas, Notable Speech and Rosallion will lock horns once again.
A large field is expected for the Listed Wolferton Stakes. Stayers will then have their chance to shine in the Ascot Stakes and Copper Horse Stakes handicaps.
Sir Michael Stoute's Passenger currently tops the market for Wednesday's Group One feature, the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, which could feature Irish raiders White Birch and Auguste Rodin.
The final four days of Royal Ascot open with juvenile contests. Two-year-old fillies take centre-stage in the Queen Mary Stakes, and three-year-olds put their St Leger credentials on the line in the Queen's Vase.
Another Group Two contest, the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes also features on Wednesday's schedule, which ends with two quality handicaps and a thrilling Listed sprint for two-year-olds.

The 2024 Royal Ascot Gold Cup will take place at 4:25pm on Friday, half an hour before England take on Denmark in their second group-stage match at Euro 2024.
The Norfolk Stakes, King George V Stakes Handicap and the Ribblesdale Stakes will all be shown live on ITV4 on Thursday. As will the card-closing Buckingham Palace Stakes handicap.
Coverage switches to the main ITV channel ahead of the Gold Cup, with the Britannia and Hampton Court Stakes also being shown live on ITV1.
The two Group One races on day four of Royal Ascot have both been moved to earlier start times, so that they can be shown on the main ITV channel. The Commonwealth Cup is due to go off at 3:05pm, with the Coronation Stakes half an hour later.
The first race to be shown on ITV4 is the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes handicap. Thursday's card closes with the Sandringham, the King Edward VII Stakes and the Palace Of Holyrood House Stakes handicap.
The final Group One race of Royal Ascot is the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, which will take place this year at 3:45pm. The first three races on Saturday will be shown on the main ITV channel, with the Chesham Stakes and the Hardwicke building up to our Group One highlight.
Dual-2000 Guineas placer, Haatem drops down in class and trip for the Jersey Stakes, which will be shown on ITV4. Royal Ascot draws to a close with the thrilling Wokingham and Golden Gates handicaps, before stayers round off the meeting in the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
