How to watch
Westminster has aired on television in the United States every year since 1948. Fox Sports signed a 10-year deal for the global broadcasting rights in 2015, taking over for NBCUniversal’s USA network, which had carried it for more than three decades.
Tonight’s final night will be nationally televised in the US on FOX, FS1 and FS2. It can also be streamed on FOXSports.com and the FOX Sports App.
A half-hour pre-show begins at 7pm ET with the final three best-of-group competitions starting at 7.30pm. The judging for best in show, going by previous years, should begin at approximately 10.30pm.

Preamble
Hello and welcome to the final night of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show! We’re ringside at Madison Square Garden for the 149th edition of the nation’s most prestigious conformation show, the oldest continuously held sporting event in the United States after the Kentucky Derby, and there’s an unmistakable electricity in the air as the title of America’s top dog will be chosen from the more than 2,500 canines from over 200 different breeds and varieties. Tonight one will emerge from the pack.
Last year it was Sage, the miniature poodle. Who will bring home the hardware in 2025?
Bryan will be here shortly. In the meantime here’s our Alaina Demopoulos’s look at day one of America’s most prestigious dog show.
