2026 Preakness Stakes

The 2026 Preakness Stakes was the 151st running of the Preakness Stakes, a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds at a distance of 1+3⁄16 miles (9+1⁄2 furlongs; 1,911 meters). It took place on May 16, 2026. For the first time in the race's history, it took place at Laurel Park due to construction at the race's usual home of Pimlico Race Course.

It was announced on May 6, 2026, that Golden Tempo, the 2026 Kentucky Derby winner, would not run in the Preakness, thus giving up the chance at the Triple Crown. Napoleon Solo won the race.
