The 145th running of the Preakness Stakes will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2020. It was originally scheduled for May 16, but was moved due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year's race is significantly different from the ones in years past, as there will be no fans present for the safety of all amidst the pandemic.

The Preakness Stakes is also rounding out the Triple Crown, rather than being the second of the three jewels. The order of the Triple Crown was altered due to the pandemic, with the Belmont Stakes running first this year, followed by the Kentucky Derby.
