Follow Cheltenham Festival 2026 With Virgin Bet
As we mentioned previously, the Cheltenham Festival 2026 is being held between March 10 and 13 this year. There are a total of 28 races in the event, and each day, you can bet on seven races.
You can place ante-post bets on your favourite horses and races before the actual tournament even starts. Ante-post betting odds are much higher since a lot can change between now and race day, meaning the stakes are higher. Then again, if your horse wins, you get a better payout, too.
