2026 Badminton Preview Show

A shot at history. A rival ready to challenge it. And one of the deepest Badminton fields in years.

Can Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo become the first horse-and-rider combination to win Badminton three times? Or is this the year Oliver Townend and Cooley Rosalent go one better after leading Badminton for almost all of last year's competition?

Nicole Brown, Diarmuid Byrne, Sam Watson, Catherine Austen, and special guest Adam Short break down the head-to-head everyone is talking about, the horses building behind them, and the names that could blow this wide open, from Harry Meade to Sarah Bullimore, plus the returning experience of Caroline Powell, Tim Price, and more.

Prediction Centre numbers, Eventing Manager picks, weather watch, dark horses, and the stories that could define the week. Badminton is here.
