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.
“With FOX’s tremendous partnership and support, we’re going to bring the most competitive and compelling motorsport on the planet to a growing and massive audience. We cannot wait to raise the curtain on the 2025 season with FOX.”
Among the other highlights provided by IndyCar, the return of Toronto to network coverage is a bonus.

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.
