Breeders' Cup tickets will go on sale May 9

The Breeders’ Cup announced Monday that tickets for the 2022 World Championships will go on sale to the public on May 9 at 12:00 p.m. EDT on the Breeders’ Cup website. The best horses from around the world are set to return to historic Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky on November 4 and 5 for the 39th annual running of the year-end championship meet.

This year will mark the third time the World Championships have been held in the Horse Capital of the World following the event’s first running at Keeneland in 2015 and subsequent return in 2020.

“We couldn’t be more excited to return to Keeneland for the 39th running of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships,” Breeders’ Cup president and CEO Drew Fleming said. “As the 2020 World Championships at Keeneland were held without fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we eagerly await the opportunity to return to Lexington in full force in support of local racing fans, businesses, and members of the Thoroughbred industry who are the backbone of our sport.”

Anticipation and demand for tickets are expected to be high. Fans are encouraged to visit the Breeders’ Cup website to sign up to receive the latest ticket information and news. As announced in September 2020, fans who purchased tickets to the 2020 Breeders’ Cup have the right to repurchase the same or similar seats as they had previously, and that process is currently underway.

Anyone who purchased Breeders’ Cup tickets in 2020 and has not yet received emails from the Breeders’ Cup ticketing department should call (859) 514-9428 or email Tickets@BreedersCup.com for assistance.
