Love it or hate it – the Racing League 2025 is back for another summer campaign as the UK horse racing competition returns for a fifth year – but just how will the 2025 Racing League work? We give you the answers, from the teams, dates, TV coverage, fixtures, points and the format in our Racing League 2025 guide.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Racing League Returns For A Fifth Year In 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last year the Jamie Osborne-led Wales and the West team won the 2024 Racing League with 869 points and will be back in 2025 to try and defend their title.<\/p>\n

The Welsh horse racing team saw off ‘The East’ by 96.5 points at the line – which saw Jamie’s daughter Saffie Osborne riding a Southwell treble at the final fixture to help secure the win.<\/p>\n

Saffie Osborne has also been the Racing League top jockey for the last three seasons – banking \u00a320k in the process.<\/p>\n

This win for Wales and the West followed-up their 2022 Racing League success and are sure to be well-fancied with the horse racing betting sites<\/a> for another title.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Racing League gets going at the end of July and runs for the whole of August – so let’s explain more about the competition below.<\/p>\n

With seven teams, 42 races across six fixtures and over \u00a32m in Racing League prize money on offer.<\/p>\n

What Are The Racing League Fixtures 2025?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Racing League 2025 fixtures will see SIX race days – with the first at Great Yarmouth on Thursday 24th July. With all these races covered on our ITV Racing tips<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Each Racing League meeting will be held at a different track – with Newcastle (21st Aug) the most northern and Windsor (14th Aug) the most southern venues.<\/p>\n

Racing League race days will always be on a Thursday and covered on the ITV Racing schedule<\/a> and Sky Sports Racing<\/a> channels.<\/p>\n

The action will conclude, like last year, at Southwell on Thursday 28th August.<\/p>\n
