One of the biggest weeks on the annual calendar for horse racing in North America is upon us, as the main focus of fans and gamblers draws a bead on Saratoga Race Course for a spectacular Aug. 23 Saturday card anchored by the 156^th DraftKings Travers Stakes. The Travers, aka the “Mid-summer Derby,” is the most important race in the 3-year-old division after the Triple Crown is over, and this year’s running features divisional leader Sovereignty, who will attempt to wrap up 3-year-old champion honors after winning the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets earlier this year.

The Travers is the final of six graded stakes scheduled at the Spa on Saturday, and five of those will be broadcast nationwide on FOX as part of a three-and-a-half hour “Saratoga Saturdays” show produced by NYRA. That show runs from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET, and the Travers has a scheduled post time of 6:14 p.m. ET.

Action from Saratoga will be broadcast on NYRA’s “Saratoga Live” show from Wednesday, Aug. 20 through Sunday, Aug. 24 on FOX Sports, also including earlier races from the track on Saturday. Check the below schedule for channels and times. (Also, the Juddmonte International Stakes from York Racecourse in England, a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” race for the Longines Classic, will be shown live Wednesday morning on FS2 .)

Live racing from tracks such as Del Mar (including the Pat O’Brien Stakes Saturday), Ellis Park (final weekend), Gulfstream Park, Woodbine, and Charles Town (including its marquee Charles Town Classic Stakes card Friday, Aug. 22) will be shown on FanDuel TV as part of its usual comprehensive weekly package.

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.
