WHERE TO FIND 2027 HORSE RACING FIXTURES
The complete 2027 UK horse racing fixtures calendar is published by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). It announced the list on 3 September 2026, with 1,440 fixtures scheduled, and it is available as a PDF and an Excel file on the BHA website. For Ireland, Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) published its 2027 plan on 24 September 2026, with 396 meetings.
This guide explains where to find the official lists, how to use them to plan a season or a day at the races, and why fixtures can still change. The official list is the source to trust, so always check it for the latest version. You must be 18 or over to bet.
Where to find the official 2027 fixtures list
Start with the official sources, then use racecourse pages for event details.
Source | What you will find |
The BHA's full-year fixture lists, with the 2027 list available to download as an Excel file and a PDF, calendar downloads, and options to filter by month, racecourse and event type. | |
The full list for Great Britain. The BHA announced it on 3 September 2026 with 1,440 fixtures, 52 of them Premier Racedays. | |
The press release, plus a blog on the policy thinking behind the list by the BHA's Director of Racing. | |
Irish racing's governing body. It published its 2027 plan on 24 September 2026, with 396 meetings, six more than in 2026. | |
Racecourse websites | Event pages, ticket conditions, hospitality and local details for the days you plan to attend. |
The BHA full-year page also carries the current year's list and says older lists are available on request. For meetings in the next day or two, use a racecard site instead (see our guides to today's meetings and tomorrow's racecards).
Information checked on 27 October 2026. Fixture lists can be amended, so always check the latest version.
How to use the fixtures calendar
Download the official list. Save the 2027 Excel file if you want to sort and filter by date, course or type of meeting, or the PDF for reading.
Filter for what you care about. Narrow it to your local racecourse, a month, or a type of day such as a weekend or evening meeting, using the BHA page's filters or your own spreadsheet.
Check the racing season. British racing runs all year, with both Flat and jump racing meetings, so check which kind of racing a meeting offers if that matters to you.
Mark bank holidays and big days. Major meetings and holidays often draw bigger crowds, so book early if you want to attend.
Confirm on the racecourse's own page. Check event details, ticket conditions, gates and parking on the racecourse website before you travel.
Re-check close to the day. Use a racecard site, the racecourse and official notices for the latest information.
Why fixtures change
A published fixtures calendar is a plan, not a guarantee. Fixtures can change because of:
Rescheduling. Meetings and races can be moved or amended. The BHA site, for example, carries news items about rescheduled races at individual courses.
Abandonments. Weather, track conditions and safety can cause a meeting to be abandoned or delayed on the day.
Changed race programmes. The races at a meeting, and their conditions, can be updated after the list is published.
Dates and venues still to be confirmed. Some fixtures can be marked provisional or to be confirmed, as some Irish fixtures were when the 2027 list was published.
For this reason, never present an unofficial list as the complete calendar. Use the official BHA and HRI lists, note the date you checked them, and look at the racecourse's own page before you travel. For the rules and guides governing racing, see the British Horseracing Authority.
Common mistakes when using a fixtures calendar
Calling an unofficial list "complete". Only the official BHA and HRI lists should be treated as the source.
Using an out-of-date version. Check the date of the file or page, because lists can be amended.
Forgetting Ireland. The BHA list covers Great Britain. Irish fixtures come from Horse Racing Ireland.
Skipping the racecourse page. Event details, ticket conditions and times are on the course's own site.
Planning around one date. Weather and inspections can change plans, so have a backup.
Betting without checking. Confirm the meeting is on and the declared runners before you bet, and never chase losses.
