How to listen Grand National 2019 live commentary - Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT details

The most famous and popular race in the world returns with the 2019 Grand National at Aintree and many people will be listening to the commentary on Radio 5 Live.

Tiger Roll is the shortest priced favourite in 100 years and is looking to become the first back-to-back winner of the National since the legendary Red Rum.

Even those not generally interested in racing will be having a punt on one or more of the 40 runners in this hugely competitive and unpredictable run.

Therefore millions of people will be wanting to keep up to date with proceedings live and as well as watching it on ITV, those interested can listen to BBC Radio 5 Live or talkSPORT 2.

As part of their sports programming on Saturday, BBC Radio 5 Live will have live coverage of the Grand National from 5pm, with the race itself starting at 5.15pm.

Meanwhile, talkSPORT 2 will have live coverage of five races on the day, including the Grand National.

As well as that, talkSPORT will be broadcasting all of their programmes live from Aintree.

They will also have the closing stages of the race ahead of their coverage of the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
