The Indy 500<\/a> will begin at noon Sunday on NBC. The Canadian Grand Prix will air on Apple TV+ at 4:00 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Memorial Day weekend Sunday is widely hailed as ‘The Greatest Day in Motorsports.’ Historically, Formula One raced the Monaco Grand Prix on this day. In 2026, the schedule was modified. The race, which is usually in the morning in the U.S., now starts at 4:00 p.m. ET. It is expected to be finished in under two hours, just in time for the Coca-Cola 600.<\/p>\n
