The NTT IndyCar Series will have a new television home in 2025. INDYCAR and FOX Sports announced a record breaking broadcasting deal on June 13, one that sees all 17 INDYCAR events broadcast on FOX.

In addition to the 17 races, both Saturday and Sunday sessions of qualifying for the 109th Indianapolis 500 will air on FOX, breaking an INDYCAR record for network television time-slots.

“Adding the iconic Indianapolis 500 and delivering the entire NTT INDYCAR SERIES to the FOX Sports roster fits perfectly within our model of teaming with sports’ largest events and best-in-class brands,” FOX Sports CEO and Executive Producer Eric Shanks said. “We’re honored to be the new broadcast home to ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,’ an incredibly special event to everyone at FOX Sports.”

In addition to the new TV contract, INDYCAR also released its full schedule for the 2025 season. The season once again starts at the Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and ends in Music City at Nashville Superspeedway.

Some notable changes include the addition of The Thermal Club as a points paying event, the Milwaukee Mile cutting back to one race, and World Wide Technology Raceway moving from August to June.

The 109th Indy 500 will feature a five-hour network TV window on FOX, and is set to take place on Sunday, May 25th.

“This represents unrivaled exposure and provides an unparalleled growth opportunity for the most competitive and entertaining motorsport on the planet,” INDYCAR CEO Mark Miles said. “FOX Sports is a fully committed partner, ready to bring engaging and technically innovative coverage to millions of fans across the country while also promoting INDYCAR thoroughly across all its platforms.”

Alongside network television broadcasts for all INDYCAR races, practice and qualifying for each event will air across FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2. FS1 and FS2 will also air a majority of the INDY NXT season from flag to flag, with supplemental coverage for remaining races.
