How to watch the 2025 Belmont Stakes: Post time, TV channel and stream

It's almost time for the last Triple Crown race of the year.

The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Saratoga Race Course is hosting the race for the second straight year as Belmont Park undergoes renovations.

There are eight horses in contention for the 2025 Belmont Stakes title, including the winners from this year's first two Triple Crown events. Journalism, the Belmont Stakes betting favorite, could record a third top-two finish after winning the Preakness Stakes and being the Kentucky Derby runner-up.

Meanwhile, the Derby winner, Sovereignty, returns to the Triple Crown series after not being entered into the Preakness Stakes. And Baeza, who finished third at Churchill Downs, is also one of the top contenders in the Belmont Stakes field.
