Racecourse Media Group (RMG) and Arena Racing Company (ARC) have signed a new contract with the Dubai Racing Club (DRC) to distribute live racing content from Meydan Racecourse for the next three seasons. The deal covers the 2025 to 2026, 2026 to 2027 and 2027 to 2028 seasons. RMG has already worked with the DRC for more than ten years, so this agreement builds on their long partnership.

With this new deal, RMG and ARC will handle the international distribution of all live race coverage. Their goal is to help more viewers around the world watch races from Meydan and to increase interest in Dubai’s major racing events.

Global Distribution Through GBI Racing Network

Meydan’s racing content will be distributed through the GBI Racing network, which reaches about 10,000 outlets worldwide and more than 100 digital clients. The network is already widely used in betting shops and online streaming platforms, making it a key channel for international racing coverage.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, fans will be able to watch the races through digital streaming and in retail locations. This means people can follow the action either at home or in licensed venues. RMG and ARC say the wider reach will help more viewers discover Dubai’s racing events and boost overall interest.

Full Coverage of the Dubai Racing Carnival and World Cup

For the 2025 to 2026 season, coverage will include all major events from the Dubai Racing Carnival, which runs from November until March 28. The carnival regularly attracts many top horses, jockeys and trainers from around the world, making it a highlight in the global racing calendar.

The season will conclude with the Dubai World Cup card on March 28, which will mark the 30th running of the event. This race day is known for its high stakes, offering prize money of 30.5 million dollars across six Group 1 races and three Group 2 races. With such strong international interest, the new distribution deal aims to maximise global viewership and boost the event’s visibility.

Industry Leaders Celebrate Long-Term Agreement

Industry leaders have welcomed the new partnership. Erwan Charpy, DRC Head of Racing Operations and International Relations, said the club is pleased to extend its decade-long relationship with RMG and add new distribution services. He stated that the DRC is looking forward to working closely with RMG and ARC to grow worldwide interest in Meydan’s high-quality racing.

RMG CEO Nick Mills also expressed pride in winning the distribution rights for the next three seasons. He said the partnership will deliver strong exposure and high engagement levels, helping generate the best possible results for Dubai Racing Club content.
