Royal Ascot Betting 2026

Royal Ascot is one of the most prestigious events in the horse racing calendar, and this year’s festival runs from Tuesday, 16 June to Saturday, 20 June, with the feature day taking place on Thursday, 18 June at Ascot Racecourse.

Elevate your Royal Ascot betting experience with our range of Horse Racing offers and promotions, such as our new 'Position Payout' feature. This innovative offer rewards not just winning, but also how well your selection performs- the higher your horse finishes, the more you win. Alongside this fantastic feature, we also provide unbeatable odds with our Best Odds Guaranteed offer, where we will pay you out at bigger odds if your selection wins or places and the SP is a greater price.

Explore our other incredible Horse Racing offers:

• Super Boosts – get our biggest prices on selected races.

• Bet Boosts - get a bigger price on selected runners on all UK, Irish and selected international horse races.

• Winnings Boost - enhance your winnings for Bet Builders and selected single bets.

• Racing Value - early prices on every UK and Irish horse.

• Each Way Extra - choose your place terms for Each Way Horse Racing bets on selected races.

• My Horses - build a stable of your favourite horses and receive updates when they run.

• Non-Runner No Bet - make use of our Non-Runner No Bet offer on the Royal Ascot.

We already have our Royal Ascot Antepost odds live ahead of the official declarations. If you choose to place an Antepost bet and your horse does not run, you will receive your money back as part of our Non-Runner No Bet offer. Standard odds will be available once the horses on the race card have been confirmed, which is usually two days before the race.

For the Royal Ascot, you will see the race card with all the horses in contention. The favourite is at the top of the list, followed by others in descending order of likeliness to win. Next to each horse's name is a fraction, this is their odds. Click or tap to add them to your bet slip, enter your stake, and see your potential winnings before confirming.

Back the horse you think will win or place, or go each-way for a combination of both. For more experienced bettors, you also have the option to place doubles, trebles, accumulators and more.

Calculating your potential winnings can be hard, especially in Horse Racing but don't worry. At bet365 we have a Bet Calculator to do the difficult maths for you. It even has options to select a Trixie, Yankee, Lucky 15 and more.
