How to Watch the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Live For Free Without Cable

For many years, CNBC/USA had a lock on the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (much to the chagrin of WWE fans who would see their precious wrestling programming pre-empted in February in favor of the dog show.) Normally, the show happens in mid-February, but this year, the event has moved to June due to the pandemic.

In 2015, Fox landed the broadcasting rights, and now, for the first time in 30 years, the Best in Show will be crowned on broadcast television — and in primetime. The two-day event starts Saturday, June 12, and continues on Sunday, June 13.

Primetime coverage begins with Group Judging on FS1 at 7:00 PM ET on Saturday, June 12, and continues Sunday, June 13, at 7:00 PM ET with Group Judging and the crowning of Best in Show live on Fox.

Fox’s NASCAR voice Chris Myers will join Gail Miller Bisher, the voice of the Westminster Kennel Club, and veteran judge Don Sturz in the booth. Jenny Taft, of “Undisputed” and the network’s lead college football reporter, returns as the event’s host, while NFL and soccer reporter Sara Walsh makes her Westminster debut, as the “sideline” correspondent, interviewing judges and handlers.
