Enjoying highlights of the upcoming week in horse racing requires an international lens, as much of the top-class racing will be held overseas in England when the prestigious Royal Ascot meet begins its five-day run Tuesday, June 18. A total of 35 races will be held at beautiful Ascot Racecourse west of London, including four “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series races for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar in November.

NBC Sports will provide comprehensive coverage of the Royal Ascot meet each day, with the first four days (Tuesday through Friday, June 21) streaming on Peacock and the closing Saturday, June 22 card airing live on NBC and also streaming on Peacock.

Britney Eurton and Nick Luck will host NBC’s Saturday coverage at Royal Ascot, with Dylan Dreyer on-site for lifestyle reporting and Steve Kornacki serving as insights analyst. Check the below schedule for start times.

Every race at Royal Ascot will also be broadcast on FanDuel TV. That network will also air live racing from tracks including Churchill Downs, Woodbine, and Thistledown (including the Ohio Derby on Saturday) as part of their daily package.

Racing from Belmont at the Big A in New York and from Monmouth Park in New Jersey is showcased on “America’s Day at the Races.” The NYRA-produced show airs daily from Thursday, June 20 through Sunday, June 23 on FS2 – check the below schedule for times.

Horse racing from tracks around the world is available to subscribers on Racetrack Television Network (RTN), which can be livestreamed on all devices (computer, tablet and smartphone) and on TV via DISH Network, Amazon Fire and Roku.
