Dubai World Cup 2025 to take place in April 2025

The upcoming edition of the Dubai World Cup meeting, recognised worldwide as one of horseracing’s premier sporting and social occasions, will take place on Saturday, April 5, 2025, marking the grand finale of an extended 16-meeting Carnival.

Hosted at the iconic Meydan Racecourse, the 29th renewal of racing’s most spectacular fixture will be



staged a week later than has previously been the case, forming the culmination of a week of Eid Al Fitr celebrations across the UAE.

The eagerly awaited new season gets underway on Friday, November 8, 2024, while the first of four feature race days take place on ‘Festive Friday’, December 20, when the AED1 million G2 Maktoum Mile headlines a superb card.
