June 16 is deadline to renew, upgrade Indy 500 tickets for '26

The deadline for fans to renew their tickets for the 2026 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 is June 16.

Fans can renew or upgrade their Indy 500 tickets at ims.com/renew, by calling 317-492-6700 or by visiting the IMS Ticket Office. The renewal window will continue through Monday evening, June 16.

IMS says these are the best prices of the year for renewals and upgrades. Prices will increase when tickets go on sale this fall, and again in 2026 before each event.

The 2026 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge logo has a patriotic flair to celebrate the nation’s military, which is honored throughout the storied event held annually during Memorial Day weekend, and the 250th birthday of the United States.

The logo colors directly match those of the American flag. The shield harkens back to the coat of arms, now called the Great Seal of the United States. The red stripes represent the stripes of the flag, as well as the wings of the IMS Wing & Wheel logo, while the four stars represent IMS’s four “founding fathers.”

“The Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend has always been a special time to honor the brave men and women who sacrifice so much to serve and protect the United States,” INDYCAR and IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “The logo reminds our fans as they race to renew or request seat upgrades by the June 16 deadline of the various ways we celebrate these men and women and the 250th birthday of our nation.”

The logo is the latest iteration of a series that began in 2019 with Gainbridge’s inaugural sponsorship.

The Icon Series logos celebrate the iconography of the 500-Mile Race. Since 2019, the logo has featured the bricks, the checkered flag, the Pagoda, the winner’s wreath, the famed oval, Victory Podium and the green flag.
