Melbourne Cup Day is the single biggest event on the Australian horse racing calendar as it is host to the country’s premier thoroughbred event, the Group 1 $10 million Melbourne Cup (3200m).
Sponsored by Lexus, Melbourne Cup Day 2025 is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025 and is the second of four major meetings that make up the classic Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Melbourne Cup Day runs on the first Tuesday of November annually at Flemington Racecourse and the Melbourne Cup field always face off at 3:00pm (AEDT).
2025 Melbourne Cup Day Betting
There are traditionally nine other Flemington races on the Melbourne Cup Day 2025 card giving punters plenty of other chances to win outside of tipping the Melbourne Cup results.
The most popular race to enjoy a punt on the first Tuesday of November is of course the Melbourne Cup field featuring a capacity 24 stayers from around the world.
Melbourne Cup Day nominations close the Wednesday of the previous week with the Melbourne Cup Day race fields announced the Friday before Victoria Derby Day on the first Saturday of November.
That is of course except for the Melbourne Cup. View our official Melbourne Cup Field page for all the information on when entries and the final acceptances for the ‘Race That Stops a Nation’ are taken.
