The two-day festival will feature 14 Grade 1 races and a full undercard, with more than $34 million in purses and awards. Known as “Where the Turf Meets the Surf,” Del Mar hosts the prestigious event for the fourth time, attracting the sport’s top horses, trainers, owners, jockeys, and breeders.

New this year, tickets must be purchased through SeatGeek. All tickets are mobile-only, and a SeatGeek account is required to complete your order. While tickets are viewable upon purchase, barcodes will become available closer to the event. Visit seatgeek.com/#register to set up an account.

Fans can choose from a variety of seating options, all available in advance and while supplies last. No tickets will be sold at the gate. To reserve group or corporate hospitality packages, visit breederscup.com/groups.

Breeders’ Cup Charities makes its debut this year, giving ticket buyers the option to donate at checkout to support aftercare for Thoroughbreds, industry workers, jockey wellness, equine research, and community programs.

Following a record-breaking 2024 event, which drew $203.7 million in global wagering and contenders from five continents, Breeders’ Cup and Del Mar will invest over $5 million to enhance the fan experience. Upgrades include a new luxury dining chalet, expanded hospitality areas, and additional premium box seating.

Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone returns to curate the culinary experience, offering globally inspired dishes in select premium areas. Stone, known for Gwen and The Pie Room in Los Angeles, brings his signature style to the World Championships for a third consecutive year.
