Racing Post Confirmed as Official Media Partner for ARC’s Friday Night Live Racing Series

Racing Post has agreed a new partnership with Arena Racing Company (ARC) to become the Official Media Partner of its Friday Night Live racing series in 2026.

Friday Night Live is a new under-the-lights racing concept, created in partnership with INVADES, combining live racing with entertainment and music across a series of Friday evening fixtures broadcast on ITV Racing and Sky Sports Racing.

As Official Media Partner, Racing Post will work with ARC to support the series through content, coverage and promotion across its platforms. This will include editorial features, social media activity and video content designed to showcase the live race day experience and atmosphere of Friday Night Live.

The partnership reflects a shared ambition to engage new and younger audiences, while presenting racing in a modern, accessible and entertaining format.

Friday Night Live is an exciting initiative that brings a fresh energy to the racecourse experience, and we’re pleased to be working with ARC as Official Media Partner to help tell that story through our content and coverage.”
