Latest News About Indy 500 Start Time

I don’t have live access to current feeds right now, but here’s what’s typically reported for Indy 500 start times and how to verify today.

Core answer:

• The Indy 500 normally starts with green flag in mid-afternoon ET, commonly around 12:45 p.m. ET on race day, with driver introductions earlier in the day. Exact time can vary slightly by year and weather, so please check a reliable current listing close to race day.

How to verify the latest start time:

• Visit the official Indy 500 or Indianapolis Motor Speedway website for the race day schedule.
• Check a trusted sports network’s Indy 500 preview or live schedule page (e.g., NBC Sports, FOX, or the race’s official broadcaster) for “start time” and “green flag.”
• If you’re in Prague or traveling internationally, confirm local broadcast times and any daylight saving adjustments on the broadcaster’s regional site or by using a local sports app.

Notes:

• Start times are ET; convert to your local time if needed (Prague is typically CET/CEST, which is 6 hours ahead of ET outside of daylight saving changes).
• Weather can cause delays or early starts; the latest official schedule will reflect any changes.
