1 December 2025 – Racecourse Media Group (RMG) and Arena Racing Company (ARC) have secured a three-year agreement with Dubai Racing Club (DRC) to distribute live pictures and data from Meydan Racecourse across international markets.
The contract covers three Dubai Racing Club seasons: 2025–26, 2026–27 and 2027–28.
RMG has a long-standing relationship with DRC, having managed the Club’s television production for more than ten years. To maximise reach and revenue, RMG has partnered with its long-term international collaborator, ARC. Together, they will distribute DRC content to global territories through their established partnership, GBI Racing.
Erwan Charpy, Head of Racing Operations & International Relations, Dubai Racing Club, said:
“We are delighted to extend our 10-year relationship with RMG to now include distribution services, and we look forward to working with RMG and ARC to grow further interest in our world-class and competitive racing from Meydan Racecourse.”
Nick Mills, CEO of Racecourse Media Group, said:
“We are honoured to be awarded the distribution rights for Dubai Racing Club content for the next three seasons. Combined, RMG and ARC are among the largest – and most established – distributors of horse racing content globally. This extensive reach delivers unmatched metrics in terms of eyeballs and engagement levels on content, and will result in the highest potential revenue generation.”
Brendan Parnell, Managing Director, Media & International, of Arena Racing Company, said:
“We are incredibly excited to be part of this distribution rights agreement for Dubai Racing Club over the next three seasons. Meydan Racecourse is an incredible facility, and its content is a huge draw around the world for racing fans. Via our retail and GBI networks, we look forward to working alongside RMG to enhance DRC’s footprint and distribution globally.”
GBI Racing is currently broadcast in around 10,000 shops worldwide and through more than 100 digital customers. In the UK and Ireland, RMG and ARC will provide a strong combination of digital streaming and retail services.
RMG and ARC will offer comprehensive pictures and data packages for the 2025–26 season, which runs from November to 28 March. The Dubai Racing Carnival features highly competitive racing and includes many of the sport’s most recognisable participants.
The season concludes with the Dubai World Cup card on 28 March, marking the 30th running of the prestigious race. With US$30.5 million in prize money across six Group 1 and three Group 2 races on the day, it is regarded as the world’s most spectacular race event.
Meydan Racecourse, the world’s largest integrated horseracing facility, hosts the Dubai Racing Carnival and the acclaimed Dubai World Cup race day. Its iconic Grandstand stretches half a mile and can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators.
