What time does the 2024 Kentucky Derby start? What TV channel is it on?
The 150th running of the Kentucky Derby will take place Saturday afternoon, and the horses are scheduled to leave the starting gate at 7:03 p.m. ET.
If you are in Los Angeles (and who wouldn’t want to be there?), the race starts at 4:03 p.m. PT.
If you are in the Rocky Mountain area, say, Denver, it’s at 5:03 p.m. MT.
Say you live in Chicago, the race is getting later, and the horses leave the gate at 6:03 p.m. CT.
And finally, if you are at the Kentucky Derby, in the shadow of jacked-up hotel rates and full restaurants, the race starts at 7:03 p.m. ET.
And for bonus coverage, did you know that Newfoundland has a time adjustment of 30 minutes off of Atlantic time? Yes, should you be in Canada’s 10th province, the race goes off at 8:33 p.m. NT.
Now where do you watch the race. There are a couple of options. If you want to catch the first three races on the day’s card you watch them on FanDuel TV, which used to be TVG. They will have coverage all day but it may not always be live.
Then, starting at noon Eastern and 9 a.m. Pacific, you can catch the next four races on NBC’s baby network of USA. That goes until 2:30 Eastern and 11:30 Pacific when the big boys take over and it goes on NBC. And that lasts until 7:30/4:30.
Forgot your NBC stations. It’s Channel 4 in Los Angeles and New York, Channel 5 in Chicago and Channel 9 in Denver.
Once the USA coverage starts you can also stream it on Peacock until the big NBC stops coverage. Now, if all the time between races bores you, check out the series “Poker Face” with Natasha Lyonne also on Peacock. If you were a fan of the old Columbo series, you will love this show. There is only one season but a second season in the works.
As for radio? What is this, 1970?
Now, let’s say you are also interested in the lead-up to the race, let’s go over some other times. And for simplicity’s sake, we’re going to do it all in local time, with local meaning Louisville or Eastern time.
The first race of the day is at 10:30 a.m. The first stakes race, the Knicks Go, is at 12:04 p.m. At 6:16 p.m. the walkover for the derby horses from the barns to paddock starts. Then, at 6:28 p.m. the horses start arriving in the paddock. We’re now at 6:44 p.m. and Martha Stewart lights up the crowd with a “Riders up!” call.
Around 6:45 p.m. will be the call the post, that’s the thing with the bugler. Kentuckians get emotional at 6:46 p.m. with the singing of “My Old Kentucky Home,” followed at 6:48 p.m. with the post parade. The horses start to load at 7:02 p.m.
As for when to start your Kentucky Derby party, how about when you’re done reading this?

The USA is currently one of the favorites to reach the World Cup quarterfinals (Getty Images).
Here’s what to know about this oddsboard.
Recent History: The quarterfinals are kinda a given for France, at least in recent years. The French have made it to at least the quarterfinals in five of the last seven World Cups, and they have made the final in four of the last seven years, winning the tournament twice. Les Bleus are now heavy favorites at -1250 to beat Paraguay and get back to the quarterfinals.
The Host Nations: Before this summer, Canada had never won a World Cup match in two tournament appearances. But that has all changed. Canada is through to the Round of 16 after beating South Africa in the Round of 32. As for Mexico, it has recorded four straight scoreless wins to start the tournament for the first time in its nation’s history. El Tri will look to get back to the quarterfinals for the first time in 40 years after dominating Ecuador in the Round of 32. After its win over Ecuador, Mexico jumped from +290 to +140 to make the quarters. The U.S. looks to replicate the other two host nations’ knockout stage performances against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday.
Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda celebrates after the Dodgers beat the Montreal Expos to win the NL pennant in 1981.
(Associated Press)
Years as manager: 1976-1996
Record: 1,599-1,439, .526 win pct
After serving as the team’s third base coach for four seasons, Lasorda took over as manager late in the 1976 season when Alston announced his retirement. He led the Dodgers to the National League pennant in his first two full seasons, losing both times to the Yankees in the World Series. He won his first World Series in 1981, knocking off the Yankees, and rallied his team to a surprise title in 1988 in which the Dodgers beat the heavily favored Athletics. Lasorda was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997, his first year of eligibility.
A fiery and vibrant presence who spent 71 years with the Dodgers, Lasorda managed nine players who won the NL rookie of the year award. The Dodgers also opened the Japanese player pipeline on his watch. Hideo Nomo, the first Japanese big leaguer to permanently relocate to the U.S., joined the Dodgers in 1995. Three decades later, the team features Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on its star-studded roster.

Back in January, the odds that King James would retire before the beginning of the 2026-27 season were slightly longer than the odds that he would give it another go.
But as of now, it looks like LeBron will, in fact, give it another go but with a team other than the Lakers.
Here are the latest odds for where James could land next season at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 30.

NBA free agency begins on June 30 at 6 p.m. ET. However, hours before its official start, LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, made a jaw-dropping announcement.
According to ESPN reporting, Paul notified the Lakers that the franchise could move on without LeBron because he plans to play elsewhere for the 2026-27 season.
James played for the organization for eight years — the longest he’s played for any other team. While in L.A., King James broke the all-time scoring record, won an NBA title and earned his fourth NBA Finals MVP.
The imprint he’s left on the league in his more than 20 years has been immeasurable.
Where will LeBron land next season now that his time in Los Angeles is over?
In addition to his tenure in Los Angeles, he’s played for the Cavaliers and the Heat, winning titles with all three franchises. He won Rookie of the Year, has four regular-season MVPs and is a 22-time All-Star.
James has averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 boards and 7.4 assists over the course of his career.
During the 2025-26 season, he helped lead the Lakers to a 53-29 record in the regular season. The team secured the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference and defeated Houston 4-2 in the first round.
Eventually, Los Angeles got bounced by Oklahoma City in the conference semifinals, 4-0, which marked LeBron’s last dance in Hollywood.
