The Riyadh Racing Season 2026–2027 is underway at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh, offering a total prize pool of SAR 236.3 million across one of the region's richest racing calendars. The season opened on 16 October 2026 and continues through 14 March 2027.

Organizers confirmed 50 race days spread across the season, held every Friday and Saturday. Of the total prize money, SAR 197.8 million is allocated to the Major Cups, underlining the scale and prestige of the competition.

Tickets and access

General-admission tickets start at just SAR 15, keeping the event affordable for families and racing fans across the capital. For those planning to attend throughout the season, a full-season pass is available for SAR 990, covering all 50 race nights and including access to the Saudi Cup.

Beyond the track, the venue offers grandstand seating, trackside lawns, restaurants, cafés, and a range of entertainment activities, making it a full day-and-evening outing rather than just a sporting fixture.

With months of weekly racing ahead and a prize pool that places it among the most significant events on the regional calendar, the season gives residents and visitors in Riyadh a steady lineup of weekend entertainment through early 2027.
