After another year of Aintree marathon madness, check out everything you need to know about the 2027 Grand National including the date, time and full schedule.
When Is The 2027 Grand National?
It’s been another year of chaos and excitement at the Aintree Grand National meeting and now we have to wait another 12 months to experience it all over again.
The Grand National will take place on either Saturday 3rd April or Saturday 10th April – the EXACT date is not yet confirmed for next year right now but there’s a good chance it will start at 4:00pm.
Typically it is on the second Saturday of April, but things can always change.
