NBC has released its broadcast times and channels for the upcoming NTT IndyCar Series season, which starts on March 10 in St. Petersburg, ends on September 15 at Nashville Speedway, and spans 17 races and 18 total events including the non-points All-Star race at the Thermal Club.
The only exception is the event at Barber Motorsports Park, which will run Sunday afternoon on April 28, but does not have a specific airtime locked into place by the series’ official broadcast partner.

Among the 18 races, 10 will be presented on the NBC network, with qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 also being carried on NBC. At 56 percent, it marks a significant drop in network events for IndyCar, which had 13 of its 17 on NBC in 2023 (76 percent), including the seven opening races, and 14 from 17 in 2022 (82 percent).
The 2024 broadcast matrix sends the remaining races to NBC’s USA Network cable outlet on six occasions and doubles the exclusives for its Peacock streaming service with two events.
Peacock will continue to be the go-to resource for fans throughout the season with all sessions being carried on the digital platform.
“Throughout the season, Peacock will present over 120 hours of coverage, including nearly exclusive coverage of every qualifying and practice session in 2024,” the series wrote. “Additionally, coverage surrounding the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500, all INDY NXT by Firestone races, race day warmups and full-event race replays will be available on the platform.”
