The New York Racing Association has revealed the official logo for the 158th Belmont Stakes, set for June 6, 2026, at Saratoga Race Course. This marks the final year the event will be held there before returning to Belmont Park in 2027. The design highlights the venue's historic role in hosting the race.
The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) unveiled the official logo for the 158th running of the Grade 1, $2 million Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets on February 10, 2026. The race is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. This edition concludes the third and final Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at the venue, ending a temporary relocation that began in recent years due to renovations at Belmont Park.
From 2027 onward, the Belmont Stakes will return to its traditional home on Long Island at a reimagined Belmont Park. The logo draws on designs from the previous two years, centering on the Marylou Whitney Entrance at Saratoga. It incorporates three flags to symbolize the end of Saratoga's unprecedented hosting period. The entrance was dedicated by NYRA in 2019 to honor Marylou Whitney's contributions to horse racing and the Saratoga Springs community.
The festival spans five days, from Wednesday, June 3, to Sunday, June 7, with the Belmont Stakes as the highlight. Tickets and hospitality packages will be available starting at 10 a.m. EST on February 12, 2026, via BelmontStakes.com.
This development underscores the ongoing evolution of one of America's premier racing events, balancing tradition with necessary updates to infrastructure.
