Fox Sports has a pending deal to televise the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets replacing NBC Sports, according to a report by Front Office Sports. Fox's programming could begin with the 2023 Belmont, sources told Front Office Sports' Michael McCarthy, or NBC could also sell Fox rights to the 2022 race on June 12. NBC televises the first two legs of the Triple Crown, the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve at Churchill Downs and the Grade 1 Preakness Stakes from Pimlico Race Course. NBC has held the rights to the Belmont since 2011.
