You can watch the Running of the Bulls live on Spanish public TV, RTVE, which typically broadcasts it at 8 a.m. Spain time, and it’s also streamed online through RTVE and on YouTube.

Quick Scoop

If you’re in the U.S., that usually works out to about 2 a.m. ET for the live broadcast.

Other places to watch include:

  • RTVE’s streaming platform and YouTube for live or replay viewing.
  • News coverage and documentaries about the event, such as CNN’s “Seeing Red: Running with the Bulls” and HBO-related programming.

What to expect

The live TV coverage is the best option if you want the actual run, while documentaries are better if you want background and context rather than the live event.

A practical example: if you want to see the bull run itself, check RTVE in the morning Spain time; if you want a recap or deeper story, look for documentary coverage afterward.

Safety note

The event is dangerous in real life, so watching it on TV or via a stream is the safest way to experience it.
