Fox Continues to Expand Racing Coverage to Del Mar

FOX Sports and the New York Racing Association announced July 29 a multiyear agreement between NYRA and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, further expanding FOX Sports' industry-leading coverage of premier horse racing properties through its multiyear media rights agreement with NYRA. Beginning in 2027, FOX Sports will become the exclusive home of live television coverage from Del Mar, including the track's signature summer and fall meets. With the addition of Del Mar, FOX Sports strengthens its position as the preeminent destination for horse racing in the United States, complementing its existing coverage of the Belmont Stakes (G1), Saratoga Race Course, and the new Belmont Park beginning in September, as part of an industry-leading portfolio that delivers more than 1,000 hours of live programming annually. "There's no more beautiful venue in racing than the place where the turf meets the surf. By adding Del Mar to our longtime coverage of Saratoga, FOX Sports will be the home of the best in summertime racing on both coasts," said Fox Corporation insights and analytics president Michael Mulvihill. "Over the years, our horse racing portfolio has grown to include some of the most special racetracks in America, and we look forward to its continued growth." "The Del Mar team is excited that our premier race meets will be part of FOX Sports' dynamic racing coverage," said Del Mar president Josh Rubinstein. "We're happy to join our friends at the New York Racing Association in this effort. Del Mar and Saratoga represent the very best in summer racing on both coasts, and we look forward to FOX Sports showcasing together our iconic venues and world-class competition." As part of the agreement, FS1 will also televise live coverage of the $1 million Pacific Classic Stakes (G1) Aug. 22, ahead of full-season coverage beginning in 2027.
