The NTT IndyCar Series announced on Thursday that FOX Sports will be the new home for the 2025 IndyCar season and beyond. In addition, IndyCar released the 2025 schedule.

The new media rights deal calls for all 17 NTT IndyCar Series races including the 109th Indianapolis 500 to air on the FOX while practice and qualifying on both FS1 and FS2 and watch everything on the FOX Sports app.

In addition, FOX Deportes will carry exclusive Spanish-language television coverage. A schedule will be announced at a later date. Also, a majority of the Indy NXT by Firestone races will air on FS1, with FS2 providing supplemental coverage of additional races.

“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.”

The 2025 season will kick off on Sunday, March 2, 2025, with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and concludes on Sunday, August 31, 2025, with the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway.

“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.”
