How to Watch Belmont Stakes 2024 Live Online For Free
It’s almost time for the 156th Belmont Stakes, the final jewel of the Triple Crown — though there will be no Triple Crown winner this year, after Seize The Grey took home the Preakness Stakes trophy. The 2024 Belmont Stakes won't be held at its usual home in Elmont, NY, because Belmont Park is under renovation. Instead, the final stop on the Triple Crown run will be held at Saratoga Race Course this Saturday, June 8. Coverage of the Belmont Stakes will begin as early as 10:30 a.m. ET on FS1, before moving over to FOX at 4. Are you ready to switch over from drinking Black-Eyed Susans to Belmont Jewels?

What time does the 2024 Belmont Stakes start? What TV channel is it on?
The final race of the Triple Crown — the Belmont Stakes — is upon us and you probably figure you've got the start time down solid. Guess again.
The third leg of horse racing’s signature series for 3-year-olds is actually the earliest of all the races and the Belmont Stakes is scheduled to start at 6:41 p.m. EDT. Let’s go time zone by time zone.
If you are in Los Angeles, set your clock for about 3:41 p.m.
In the Mountain time zone, like Denver, it’s at 4:41 p.m.
Folks in Chicago can see the race around 5:41 p.m.
And, finally, if you are in New York, it’s at 6:41 p.m.
You might guess that it’s earlier than the other Triple Crown races because, at 1½ miles, it’s the longest of the three races. But this year, it’s not the longest. In fact, it’s at the same length as the Kentucky Derby, 1¼ miles.
The reason for the distance change is because the race is at Saratoga rather than Belmont Park, which is under a major renovation. It will be at Saratoga next year, too.
Tracks have different circumferences and Belmont Park is bigger than Saratoga. In order to run the Belmont at 1½ miles, the race would have to start on a turn, which the New York Racing Assn. didn’t want to do. So, instead, this year and next the Triple Crown will have an asterisk.
