Ladbrokes Spring Racing Carnival 2026

Colour, fashion and endless raceday action is back on the calendar, with the Ladbrokes Spring Racing Carnival 2026 set to take over Brisbane Racing Club for seven massive racedays.

From October 10 to November 14 2026, the carnival spreads across Eagle Farm and Doomben - bigger than ever and packed with enough racedays to fill your whole spring social calendar.

Racing fans won't miss a beat either, with feature screens at both courses bringing Sydney and Melbourne's Carnival action trackside alongside the local racing, entertainment and events.

Hospitality is where this carnival really earns its stripes. Expect fine dining, beverage packages, all-day entertainment and pop-up bars and eateries scattered around the course, all adding to the electric races atmosphere.

There's a venue to suit every mood, from The Grove Marquee and Ladbrokes Lawn Party to the Winning Post Group Package, XXXX Sideline Beer Garden, East Terraces, Hometurn Dining and Champions Bar Courtyard. Availability shifts day to day, so it pays to get in early before the good spots sell out!

The action kicks off at Eagle Farm with the Listed Cricks Highway Queensland Cup on October 10, before five more marquee racedays roll through Doomben and Eagle Farm: Sky Racing Everest Raceday (October 17), Ladbrokes Cox Plate Raceday (October 24), Higgins Coatings Derby Raceday (October 31), Canadian Club Melbourne Cup Raceday (November 3) and Champions Raceday (November 7).

The season wraps up at Doomben on November 14 with the prestigious Listed CBT Keith Noud Stakes Day, bookending a spring calendar packed with racing and entertainment. 

Whether you're chasing a big win, a big lunch, or just a reason to wear the good hat, the Ladbrokes Spring Racing Carnival 2026 has a raceday for it. Head to the BRC website to explore packages and lock in your spot trackside before this spring sells out.
