Those involved with NBC’s coverage of the IndyCar Series believe NBC will lose the series to a different network after the current contract ends this season. The main competitor to NBC, FOX, is concerned that they might not secure the rights for IndyCar for 2025 and beyond. However, Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles assures that both concerns are premature and the final decision is still a few weeks away. Despite an uncertain future, IndyCar aims to balance traditional broadcasting with streaming options, potentially partnering with major streaming services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, or Apple+. Penske Entertainment is considering a shorter contract term to adapt to the rapidly changing media landscape and ensure fans have access to live racing through both traditional and streaming platforms.
