Belmont Park, New York

Thoroughbred racing's world championships

Two days, fourteen championship races, and the best horses on earth. The Breeders' Cup is the sport's Super Bowl, and in 2027 it is at the new Belmont Park.

Where the Triple Crown races are each a single sprint of drama, the Breeders' Cup is a two-day festival of the very best: the Classic, the Turf, the Distaff, the Mile, and more, drawing champions from America, Europe, and Japan. It is the deepest concentration of talent racing offers all year.

For 2027 it lands at the rebuilt Belmont Park, which also hosts the Belmont Stakes that June, giving New York two marquee racing weekends in a single year. Friday is the Future Stars day for two-year-olds; Saturday is the championship card that ends with the Classic.

The weekend

Day by day

Before the races Arrive in New York

Fly into JFK or LaGuardia and settle in near the track or in the city. Two days of championship racing is a marathon worth being rested for.

Friday, October 29 Future Stars Friday

The two-year-old championship races, where next year's Derby contenders first announce themselves. A quieter, sharper day for the real racing fan.

Included: Hospitality on premium tiers

Saturday, October 30 Championship Saturday

The main event: a card of world-championship races building to the Breeders' Cup Classic, the richest and most prestigious race of the two days.

Included: Hospitality on premium tiers

Around it The city, an hour away

With New York on the doorstep, the evenings and any extra days are the city's to fill.

Two days, one seat

The seating at Belmont Park

Breeders' Cup packages are built around both days. The rebuilt Belmont Park is new for 2027, so the seating map is fresh.

Grandstand reserved

Lower to upper

Reserved seats with a clear view of the racing across both championship days. The sensible base for a serious two-day card.

Clubhouse

Premium reserved

Elevated and closer to the finish, with more comfort for a long two days at the track.

Trackside and boxes

Rail level

Near the rail and winner's circle, closest to the champions as they come home.

Hospitality

Premium

Indoor and outdoor hospitality with food, beverage, and a comfortable base across both days.

Planning

What to know before you go

It is a two-day event

The Breeders' Cup is Friday and Saturday, not a single afternoon. Friday is Future Stars day for two-year-olds; Saturday is the championship card that ends with the Classic. The best packages cover both, and deciding whether you want both days is the first question.

Confirmed as of July 2026.

The new Belmont Park

2027 is at the rebuilt Belmont Park, the same venue that hosts the Belmont Stakes that June. It is a brand-new facility, so the seating and access details are fresh; we confirm them as they publish.

Stay in the city or by the track

Belmont is an hour from New York. Base near the track for the simplest race days, or in Manhattan and make a city trip of it around the racing.

When to book

Early. The Breeders' Cup draws an international crowd and the best seats and hotels move well ahead of late October. Locking them early is the way to control the cost.

Make a trip of it

Add-ons

  • A full New York trip around the two race days
  • Extra nights on Long Island or in Manhattan
  • Single-day options if you only want the Saturday Classic card
  • Upgraded hotels and private transport
  • Group handling for parties of eight or more

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Where is the 2027 Breeders' Cup?

At the rebuilt Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, on Friday and Saturday, October 29 and 30, 2027. It is the same venue that hosts the Belmont Stakes in June.

Is the Breeders' Cup one day or two?

Two. Friday is Future Stars day for two-year-olds, and Saturday is the championship card that ends with the Breeders' Cup Classic. Most packages cover both days.

How is the Breeders' Cup different from the Triple Crown races?

The Triple Crown races are each a single marquee sprint for three-year-olds. The Breeders' Cup is a two-day festival of fourteen world-championship races across all divisions, drawing the best horses from around the world.

Should I stay in the city or near the track?

Either. Long Island near Belmont is simplest for two straight race days; Manhattan lets you build a full New York trip with the track an hour out.

When should I book?

Early. It is an international championship, so the best seats and hotels tighten well ahead of late October.

Booking and logistics

How does payment and the deposit work?

You reserve your package with a per-person deposit and pay the balance on a set schedule, with final payment typically due 60 days before departure. Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, so we recommend travel insurance to protect what you pay. Your booking is transacted by a licensed tour operator whose full written terms govern your trip, and no payment is taken through this website. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page.

Can you plan a trip for one person or a couple?

Yes. Package prices are quoted per person and depend on how many people share a room, so solo travelers and couples are quoted accordingly. Tell us your group and we will price it honestly.

Can you handle a large group?

Yes. We handle private groups, typically parties of eight or more, with dedicated coordination for the tickets, hotel, and logistics so everyone travels together smoothly.

Is Sports Travel Zone a legitimate, licensed agency?

Yes. We are a registered seller of travel, California CST 2155818-70 and Florida ST43282, a service of Early and Away Travel, LLC. Your booking is fulfilled by a licensed tour operator, and we earn a commission when you book.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, and event tickets and hotel-only reservations are final once booked. If you cancel, any amount already paid cannot be refunded, which is why we strongly recommend travel insurance. If an event is postponed or cancelled, you receive updated tickets or a credit only to the extent the ticket or hotel vendor refunds the operator. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page and are provided to you in writing before you book.
