Breeders' Cup Unveils Logo for 2027 at Belmont Park
Breeders’ Cup Limited and The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today unveiled the official logo for the 2027 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, to be held Oct. 29-30 at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. This will be the first time the Breeders’ Cup, one of Thoroughbred racing’s most prestigious events, is hosted by the new Belmont Park, marking a grand return to New York since the last edition held there in 2005.
The reimagined Belmont Park will open for live racing on Sept. 18, 2026, following a multi-year redevelopment project to create a world-class racing and entertainment destination, with the Belmont Stakes (G1) returning to its Long Island home in 2027. Centered around a modern grandstand featuring an array of fan amenities and hospitality offerings, Belmont Park will offer four newly constructed racing surfaces including the main dirt track, two turf courses and a one-mile synthetic oval.
Beyond the new grandstand, expanded paddock area and modernized racing and training infrastructure, NYRA has unlocked the Belmont Park infield to provide fans and the surrounding community with more generally accessible green space than ever before.
“The 2027 official logo incorporates the iconic New York City skyline, celebrating both a new era at Belmont Park and the enduring legacy of New York racing,” said Justin McDonald, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer for Breeders’ Cup Limited. “We are pleased to introduce the 2027 logo to fans, participants, and partners around the globe as we prepare for an epic return of the World Championships to the Empire State.”
This marks the sixth time the World Championships will be held in New York, joining 1985, 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2005.
