The 2026 Preakness Stakes is set to take place on Saturday, May 16, at Laurel Park in Laurel, Maryland. It marks the first time that the race will be held at Laurel Park, due to construction at its usual host venue, Pimlico Race Course.
Unfortunately, Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will not run the Preakness, so there is no shot at a Triple Crown winner this year.
