The NTT IndyCar Series is moving to FOX in 2025 as part of a new multiyear broadcast agreement, with every race set to air on FOX’s primary network. All 17 newly announced dates will be featured on the same channel that broadcasts the NFL, NASCAR, and MLB events. This transition marks a shift from the previous practice of splitting races between network and cable platforms, with the current season having 10 races on NBC, six on USA Network, and two on NBC’s Peacock streaming service to accommodate the Olympics broadcast. FOX will also cover Indy 500 qualifications over both Saturday and Sunday, setting a new record of 19 broadcast network windows for the series, with extensive coverage planned for Indy 500 Race Day on FOX. Additionally, FOX Deportes will provide Spanish language coverage, while practice and qualifying sessions will be available on FOX Sports 1 and 2. The FOX Sports App will offer race streaming as part of a new super bundle that includes ESPN and Warner Bros Discovery under the Venu Sports banner. FOX Sports CEO Eric Shanks expressed excitement about adding the iconic Indianapolis 500 and the complete NTT IndyCar Series to the network’s lineup, emphasizing their commitment to showcasing premier sports events.
