BHA and ITV set four-day Christmas racing schedule for 2026
The BHA and ITV have agreed a revised British racing schedule, with live broadcasts planned across four consecutive days from 26 to 29 December 2026. Kempton, Chepstow and Newbury will each have separate feature days, removing the 27 December clash between Kempton and Chepstow; the BHA said it approved the industry initiative.
Separate feature days give broadcasters and betting audiences a revised schedule for the Christmas racing period.
