when will belmont park reopen

Belmont Park is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2026. The massive $455 million renovation and rebuild project is on track for completion by September 2026, allowing the racetrack to resume hosting major events such as the Belmont Stakes and potentially the Breeders' Cup in 2027. Until then, the Belmont Stakes will continue to be held at Saratoga Race Course, with 2026 being the third and final year there during construction at Belmont Park.
