Cheltenham 2026 Countdown: All the Bookmakers Offering NRNB

Bet365 is probably the king when it comes to horse racing bookmakers, and this is very much the case with NRNB and antepost markets. In fact, every race is now eligible to NRNB rules.

Additionally, you are still able to get value from the site, given that it boasts some of the best odds in the market.

If you feel confident about a horse's destination, though, you can still back them under normal Antepost rules, without the price hit from NRNB. This is definitely a luxury.

Betfred is now completely NRNB on all the racing at Cheltenham for 2026, meaning you can bet in confidence with the brand for the festival.

It is worth noting, though, that you cannot use free bets or boosts on the markets, which are allowed in other places. So, this may be a deterrent for some punters.

BetMGM, alongside its sister brands LiveScore Bet, Virgin Bet and LeoVegas, are now all offering NRNB on every race at the festival, and it may be one of the best places to put on your bets.

With a daily 10% profit boost, punters can certainly get ahead with a few nice prices. Indeed, in the run-up to the festival, you could certainly create a few nice prices with these boosts.

Coral and Ladbrokes were among the latest bookmakers to offer NRNB on all of their Cheltenham markets. Indeed, only the Championship races were offered until the middle of February.

We are quite fond of the bookmaker anyway, thanks to the boosts offered by both. As a result, you may be able to boost prices to near their true value, which is certainly worth a look, especially with NRNB prices.

William Hill is another site where you can bet on both NRNB and regular Antepost markets for Cheltenham 2026, which is only a positive thing from a punter's perspective.

As a result, it means you can combine prices to create a higher value, especially if you partner horses with certainties for different races.

Furthermore, the boosts are available once again, meaning you can also attempt to replicate their standard antepost price, with the NRNB market.

Though the championship races are still available to bet on without the added insurance.

Paddy Power and SkyBet are the next set of bookmakers to now have the complete set of NRNB books open, and punters can choose between betting with the insurance or not.

Interestingly, Betfair seemingly have not transitioned to the NRNB markets just yet. Which is a shock considering that they are all owned by Flutter now...

Betway is the first of a few bookmakers to offer Non Runner No Bet on only a few races. In fact, there are only five races which are currently available to be backed under these conditions.

These are the Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, Ryanair Chase, Stayers Hurdle and the Gold Cup.

As you will come to see, these are the 'Championship' races, and the races with the most interest for punters. Additionally, their cards are more secure than others.

Like Betway, only the Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, Ryanair Chase, Stayers Hurdle and the Gold Cup are currently offered as NRNB races on BoyleSports.

Of course, this is far from ideal. However, punters can still get an edge from betting on these races, with some nice prices available on horses that may be unsure of their destination just yet.
