FOX sets 2025 IndyCar broadcast times
FOX Sports has set the broadcast times for its debut season covering the NTT IndyCar Series.
“The NTT IndyCar Series is the only premier motorsport series in North America with all races broadcasting live on network television,” the series wrote. “All IndyCar programming streams live on the FOX Sports app.”
Every on-track session prior to the 17 races will be carried on the FOX Sports 1 or FOX Sports 2 cable channels, including the month of May when hours of practice and qualifying take place for the Indianapolis 500.
“The unrivaled exposure FOX will bring to the NTT IndyCar Series, including an additional hour of Indy 500 pre-race coverage, will prove to be a spectacular showcase for our drivers and teams,” said Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles.

Among the other highlights provided by IndyCar, the return of Toronto to network coverage is a bonus.

* A return to network television for the 50th anniversary celebration of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday, April 13 at 4:30 p.m.
* Network coverage of the finishing hours of both days of qualifying for the Indy 500 Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18 at 4 p.m. bringing the total number of network windows on FOX to a record 19.

The note about streaming being available on the FOX Sports app reflects a change, at least until a legal resolution is reached. The VENU Sports platform, which includes FOX and was intended to be its version of the for-pay Peacock streaming service, has been prevented from launching is subscription service while rival Fubo TV is suing the startup.
FOX Sports’ app only provides live streaming for those with cable subscriptions, and must be activated through a cable provider. Other ways of receiving FOX/FS1/FS2 via streaming exist, but come at a cost through Hulu or YouTube TV.
