About

Since 1976, Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in East Rutherford, New Jersey has been a staple in American racing. Since then, the Meadowlands has evolved into a premier entertainment center, undergoing major changes such as a newly constructed state-of-the-art grandstand in 2013 and the addition of FanDuel Sportsbook in July of 2018.

Located only 7 miles outside of New York City, Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment features year-round harness racing, simulcasting from around the globe and sports betting at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Bettors and non-racing fans alike can enjoy the exciting environment buzzing with live racing and sports action, as well as a calendar full of festivals, events, and family-friendly activities-complete with an array of indoor and outdoor dining options.
