The Cox Plate Moves to Flemington in 2026

In 2026, the legendary Cox Plate will make a temporary move to Flemington Racecourse while major refurbishments are undertaken at Moonee Valley. This exciting transition ensures the “Weight-for-Age Championship of Australasia” continues uninterrupted, offering racing fans and corporate guests the same world-class experience in a new setting.
The Cox Plate will return to its iconic home at Moonee Valley upon completion of the redevelopment — promising an even more spectacular future for one of Australia’s most prestigious race days.
