How to Watch the 2025 Belmont Stakes: Start Time, Channel, Horses, and More

The 157th Belmont Stakes, the final race in the Triple Crown series, will take place on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Saratoga Race Course in New York. This year, there will be no Triple Crown winner as Sovereignty, the Kentucky Derby winner, did not compete in the Preakness Stakes, which was won by Journalism. Both horses will compete in the Belmont Stakes, with Journalism currently the morning line favorite at 8-5 odds and Sovereignty at 2-1. The race covers 1.5 miles, with the record held by Secretariat at 2:24, and the winner will earn a share of the $2 million purse.

Coverage of the Belmont Stakes begins at 10:30 a.m. ET on FS1, with additional coverage on Fox starting at 2:30 p.m. ET, and the race post time is 7:04 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the event on Fox and FS1, or stream it via services like DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling Blue. The event also features extensive pre-race programming, including America’s Day at the Races and the Belmont Stakes Festival, providing comprehensive coverage for horse racing enthusiasts.
