How to watch Preakness Stakes 2020 live stream

The 2020 Triple Crown comes to an end this weekend with the 145th running of the Preakness Stakes and we have all the details on how you can watch the race online or on TV.

Under normal circumstances, the Preakness Stakes is the second leg of the American Triple Crown of horse racing. However, this year as a result of the pandemic, the event will conclude the three-race series which began with the Belmont Stakes in June and was followed by the Kentucky Derby in September. The 2020 Preakness Stakes was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 16 but the race will now take place on Saturday, October 3rd.

The Preakness Stakes is run on the dirt track at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Just like the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes, it is a Grade 1 Thoroughbred stakes race and the track at Pimlico is 9.5 furloughs or 1 3/16th miles long. The first Preakness Stakes was run in 1873 at Pimlico but the race moved to the Bronx and then to Coney Island before returning to Baltimore in 1909 where it has been run ever since.

Authentic, who won this year's Kentucky Derby, is expected to run in this year's Preakness even though there isn't a Triple Crown on the line as Tiz the Law won the Belmont Stakes back in September. Louisville-based Art Collector will likely be Authentic's biggest competitor though Authentic is currently the betting favorite for the 2020 Preakness Stakes.

Whether you're a long-time horse racing fan looking to see the conclusion to the 2020 Triple Crown or you just want to tune in to watch something a bit different this weekend, we'll show you how to watch the 2020 Preakness Stakes from anywhere in the world.
