The 2025 Belmont Stakes, set for June 7, will not feature a Triple Crown winner but will showcase two horses, Sovereignty and Journalism, vying for a historic achievement. Only 45 horses have previously won two of the three Triple Crown races, and this event marks the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes.
The race will take place at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, due to ongoing renovations at Belmont Park, which is expected to reopen in 2026. The main event is scheduled for 7:04 p.m. ET, following a series of undercard races throughout the afternoon.
Fans can watch the Belmont Stakes live on FOX starting at 2:30 p.m. ET, with streaming options available via the FOX Sports app. The total prize purse for the race is $2 million, with $1.2 million awarded to the winner. The final list of participating horses will be confirmed shortly before the race.
