Forget the same old pub routine - your Friday nights are about to get a serious upgrade! Wolverhampton Racecourse is thrilled to announce it will host the launch and a key fixture of the revolutionary new series: Friday Night Live 2026!
This isn't just about racing; it’s about creating the ultimate Weekend Kick-Off. Arena Racing Company (ARC) has teamed up with the social event gurus at INVADES, the people who know exactly how to throw a party for the 18-25 crowd, to deliver two high-energy, televised fixtures right here in Wolverhampton.
Mark Your Calendars: Two Dates You Can’t Miss
Wolverhampton Racecourse has been chosen to kick off the entire series, as well as host a huge fixture in March. Grab your mates and lock in these dates now:
- Opening Night: 9th January 2026 (£12 entry)
- March Return: 20th March 2026 (£19 entry)
What Makes ‘Friday Night Live’ Different?
This is the next level of social sporting events. Every single night offers seven fast-paced races competing for prizes worth over £200,000. That's high-stakes action you can feel from the stands.
Crucially, the focus is entirely on the atmosphere. While the racing is broadcast live on ITV (fronted by Megan Nicholls), the racecourse itself transforms into a massive social hub. Expect dynamic live entertainment throughout the night, with incredible performers, music, and an atmosphere geared towards a night out with your friends.
The Verdict
Friday Night Live is designed for the student and young professional crowd. It's affordable, it's televised, and it's guaranteed high energy. If you’re looking for a unique, exciting, and memorable way to start your 2026 weekends, Wolverhampton Racecourse is where you need to be.
Tickets are expected to fly out for these two televised dates. Don't miss the party! Visit the racecourse website now to secure your spot for the 9th January Opening Night from just £12!
