The Oaks race you’re asking about most commonly refers to the Kentucky Oaks, which in 2026 is scheduled for Friday, May 1, 2026, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

If you meant a different “Oaks” (like the Epsom Oaks in the UK or an Australian Oaks race), the exact date will differ by country and code, but the Kentucky Oaks is the one that’s currently most prominently discussed in recent news and schedules.
