Overview

For the third straight year, NBC Sports Group is home to the Triple Crown, presenting more than 25 hours of on-air coverage and live streaming from Churchill Downs, Pimlico and Belmont on both NBC and NBC Sports Network. Steeped in tradition and in anticipation of a title that hasn't been won since 1978, our exclusive broadcast offers unparalleled coverage of each race in addition to pre and post-race reporting and analysis.
