When is the 2025 Belmont Stakes? The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes will take place on Saturday, June 7 at 6:50 p.m. ET. The race will actually be shorter than the usual 1.5 miles though.

Journalism was the favorite and won the 2025 Preakness Stakes, Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, but the horse ridden by Umberto Rispoli hardly cruised to victory.
