NBC Sports and Ascot Racecourse, home to the Royal Meeting have reached a multi-year agreement to extend NBC Sports's exclusive United States media rights to the event through 2028, the network said in a press release on Friday.
NBC Sports–who has been presenting Royal Ascot via linear and digital platforms since 2017–will continue to present live coverage of all 20+ hours of the mid-June meet over its five days (Tuesday-Saturday), with Peacock streaming all coverage live throughout the week, and NBC simulcasting coverage during the event's final day on Saturday.
Beginning in 2026, NBC Sports will provide expanded coverage of Royal Ascot races designated as Breeders' Cup Challenge Series “Win and You're In” qualifiers, as well as additional editorial focus and context around those horses and connections aiming towards the World Championships.
