The Dubai Racing Club has announced that the 30th edition of the Dubai World Cup will take place on March 28, 2026, at Meydan Racecourse.

The event marks a major milestone for what has become one of the world’s most prestigious nights in horse racing.

The upcoming 2025/26 Dubai Racing Carnival will feature 17 race meetings, kicking off on Friday, November 7, and building up to the grand finale on World Cup night.

Chairman of Dubai Racing Club, Sheikh Rashed bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, called the Dubai World Cup "one of the world’s great sporting and social spectacles" and said the 30th running will be a celebration of international racing excellence.
