Madison Square Garden isn't just the biggest stage for musician. It's also the biggest stage for dogs. The Westminster Dog Show is back in New York.
Over 3,000 dogs, representing hundreds of breeds, will get their finishing touches in the hopes of taking home the prestigious Best in Show title. This one's special, too, as the Westminster Dog Show celebrates its 150th annual event in 2026.
A three-day competition, dogs will compete in agility courses, obedience training and of course breeding competitions. Everyone's goal, of course, is to make it to the final day of Best in Breed and Best in Show, all from MSG.
There's plenty of action to follow in the Westminster Dog Show. Here's how to watch it all with a TV and competition schedule for 2026.
