High-speed rail in the Czech Republic is being planned with construction starting in 2026 and maximum speed between 200 and 320 km/h. Although České Dráhy owns and operates multiple rolling stock capable of speeds of 230 km/h (143 mph) since 2004, there is, as of 2023, no infrastructure capable of velocity over 200 km/h (124 mph).
This line will the superseded by a 42 km (26.1 miles), Dresden-Prague high speed rail line as a part of the Trans-European high-speed rail network.
