The next Belmont Stakes is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York.

Quick scoop

  • The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival will run from Wednesday, June 3 through Sunday, June 7, 2026.
  • The Belmont Stakes itself (the Triple Crown race most people mean by “Belmont”) is on June 6, 2026.
  • It will again be held at Saratoga rather than Belmont Park because of ongoing reconstruction at Belmont Park, planned to finish later in 2026.

Tiny bit of story

For the third year in a row, the “Test of the Champion” is making a temporary home at Saratoga while a modernized Belmont Park is being built, turning 2026 into a sort of farewell chapter before the race returns downstate in 2027.
