How to watch the European Dressage and Showjumping Championships on TV


  • The FEI European Dressage Championships kick off today (19 August) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, with the showjumping and para dressage getting underway on 21 August at the same venue.

    If you’re stuck in your office or at home, you don’t have to miss out on the action — keep up-to-date with the BBC and FEI TV.

    FEI TV will be livestreaming the dressage and showjumping (available to those with a subscription), while the para dressage will be free to view on the FEI’s YouTube channel.

    The showjumping will also be available to view on a mixture of the BBC Sport website and the BBC Red Button, which will also show the dressage freestyle.
