Date and tickets
The Dubai World Cup is scheduled for Saturday 27 March 2027 at Meydan Racecourse, the final night of the Dubai Racing Carnival, according to WAM's report of the Emirates Racing Authority schedule. Our listing gives the headline race as a US$12 million contest. Gates, hospitality and dress code are set by the Dubai Racing Club, which sells tickets.
Past-year guides say general tickets are inexpensive and premium packages can cost from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. We found no 2027 prices.
What to wear
Guides from earlier years describe relaxed dress in general admission, while the Dubai World Cup day and VIP areas call for formal attire. A 2022 guide advised avoiding flip-flops because the club can refuse entry. Rules change, so read the Dubai Racing Club's current guidance before you go.
Planning notes
The date falls about two and a half weeks after the expected Eid Al Fitr holiday, which Khaleej Times reports as 9 or 10 March. UNTOLD Dubai is on the weekend of 19 to 21 March. See our March 2027 guide.
