What Time Do WRC Stages Run? Timezone Conversions

Rally stages run through the day in local time, usually from early morning to late afternoon, and the Sunday Power Stage tends to run around midday. Depending on where you live, that means early alarms or late nights. Here is how an 08:00 stage start converts at two very different rounds.

Rally Finland (08:00 EEST):

• UK (BST): 06:00
• Central Europe (CEST): 07:00
• US Eastern (EDT): 01:00
• US Pacific (PDT): 22:00 the evening before
• Australia Eastern (AEST): 15:00

Rally Japan (08:00 JST):

• UK (BST): 00:00 (midnight)
• Central Europe (CEST): 01:00
• US Eastern (EDT): 19:00 the evening before
• US Pacific (PDT): 16:00 the afternoon before
• Australia Eastern (AEST): 09:00

Every rally runs to its own itinerary, so check the stage times before each event. The Racing Line shows WRC session times converted to your local timezone automatically.

Where Can I Watch WRC Live Streams?

Rally.TV is the championship's official streaming service, with live WRC coverage on a paid subscription. What it shows live can depend on the TV deals in your country, and many countries also have a TV partner carrying highlights or selected live stages.

The Racing Line doesn't embed WRC streams, but it lists broadcasters for your country where we have them, and its notifications tell you when the next stage is about to start.

How Do I Get WRC Notifications?

The Racing Line keeps the WRC calendar alongside race times for 250+ series:

• Smart notifications: alerts before stages and sessions, set by series, session type and how much warning you want
• Local times: every session shown in your timezone automatically
• Rallying in one place: follow the WRC alongside the ERC, rallycross and rally raid
• Where to watch: broadcasters for your country, where we have them

Session times and notifications are part of Pro, The Racing Line's subscription.
