Like many other major sporting events, Henley Women’s Regatta is committed enabling supporters and rowing fans to watch all of the action live online from wherever you are in the world. Just as importantly, crews can watch their races afterwards – both to relive these special performances, and for coaching purposes.
Since the HWR livestream was first launched in 2017, we have continuously developed the quality and coverage of our livestream. In 2026 there will be 30 hours of live filming during the regatta, covering every single race from the 25 events from multiple camera angles on the bank as well as dramatic footage from our exclusive overhead drone. And all of this will be supplemented with athlete interviews and expert analysis.
This year the HWR livestream will be hosted on our own platform, HWRlive.com. You can choose from a range of packages covering single days or the whole regatta for one-off fees. There’s also an additional option of being able to download high-definition footage of blocks of racing for personal purposes.
Early bird access, available until Sunday, 14 June 2026, will cost £15 for all three days of the regatta. After this date, the price will rise to £20 for the whole regatta or £10 for a single day of racing. As well as giving viewers access to top-quality live footage during the regatta, these fees help to support the costs of staging this unique regatta, ensuring its future.
Racing footage will be accessible for free on the HWR YouTube channel from late July 2026.
HWR deputy chairman Mandy Calvert said: “The 2026 livestream will be packed with racing and other content for fans of rowing and women’s sport, and we cannot wait to share it with rowing fans and supporters.”
