The event was established in 2000, replacing the Whitchurch Conditions Stakes, and it was initially classed at Listed level. It was promoted to its current status, Group 3, in 2004.

The Sovereign Stakes is one of Salisbury's two highest class races of the season, along with the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes.
