What Time Does the 2025 Belmont Stakes Start? How to Watch

Three weeks following Journalism's victory at the 2025 Preakness Stakes, the Triple Crown moves to its third leg -- the Belmont Stakes in New York.

When Is the Belmont Stakes?

The 2025 Belmont Stakes will take place on Saturday, June 7th, 2025 at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The race is typically held at Belmont Park but has been temporarily relocated while the track undergoes renovations.

The race will be run at a shorter distance of 1 1/4 miles -- instead of the usual 1 1/2 miles -- due to the track configuration at Saratoga.

The post time is currently set for 7:04 pm ET.
