The 116th Drake will again be available to view on streaming and television thanks to our broadcasting partners at CBS Sports and RunnerSpace.
 
CBS Sports Network will be the world's window to the Blue Oval from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday. Bill Spaulding will be under the headset providing play-by-play commentary alongside 1996 Olympic gold medalist Dan O'Brien as analyst and reporter Brad Wells calling the action trackside. Those two hours will feature some of the weekend's highest profile events including the WACT invitational hurdle events, WACT invitational men's 1,500 and women's mile, WACT pole vault and shot put, and the return of the elite invitational high school boys mile. The broadcast will also feature recaps of early action at the Drake Relays.
 
While CBS Sports Network showcases two hours of action on Saturday, Runnerspace.com will stream the other 28-plus hours of action from the Blue Oval, starting with the Distance Carnival action at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday.
 
RunnerSpace.com has been a broadcast partner of the Drake Relays since 2014, showing nearly every historic moment at the Blue Oval during those 12 years, with more to be added in 2026.
 
Friday features a full day of action on Runnerspace.com starting at 8:30 a.m. with over 12 hours of track and field action, including many of the preliminary events that will set the stage for another loaded slate of championship contests on Saturday.
 
All events from the 28 hours of the RunnerSpace.com broadcast will also be available on-demand for fans to watch at their convenience or for those in attendance to re-experience the excitement away from the Blue Oval.
