Breeders’ Cup Reveals 2025 World Championships Broadcast Schedule, Post Times
With the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships just over two weeks away, the Thoroughbred racing calendar in North America is fairly light on marquee stakes events, although one final “Win and You’re In” race overseas is set for Saturday, Oct. 18.
Racing during Keeneland’s Fall Meet continues during a stretch of great weather in central Kentucky from Wednesday, Oct. 15, through Sunday, Oct. 19 this week. Every race from Keeneland is televised on FanDuel TV along with action from tracks including Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, and Woodbine.
A staple during Keeneland’s meet is the “Today at Keeneland” show, a 30-minute preview beginning each day of live racing at 11:30 a.m. ET and hosted by Scott Hazelton and Keeneland’s new director of communications, Gabby Gaudet. “Today at Keeneland” streams live on various outlets including Keeneland’s website and YouTube channel.
NYRA’s “America’s Day at the Races” covering Belmont at the Big A airs from Thursday, Oct. 16, through Sunday on FOX Sports – check the below schedule for channels and times. On Saturday’s show, one of the most prestigious events in steeplechase racing, the Far Hills Meeting in New Jersey, will be showcased in bonus coverage.
The final Breeders’ Cup Challenge series for 2025 takes place Saturday at Ascot Racecourse: the QIPCO Champions Stakes offering a “Win and You’re In” berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf. That race and others from British Champions Day at Ascot will be broadcast live on FOX Sports as well during a special show from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET.
Horse racing from tracks around the world is available to subscribers on Racetrack Television Network (RTN), which can be livestreamed on all devices (computer, tablet and smartphone) and on TV via DISH Network, Amazon Fire and Roku.
