About Racing League

The Racing League is a new-style format of horse racing, consisting of six race days spread across six weeks, with 12 individual teams competing on a points-based system. Each team has 2-4 trainers, 3 jockeys and a group of 30 horses to place across the six race cards.

The Racing League has a fundamental aim to engage and introduce a wider global audience to horse racing through the innovative, interactive, and accessible team – and points-based format.

During the British summer, the Racing League will make horse racing compelling viewing for sports fans, who love the drama, raw emotion and entertainment that team competitions create.
