Fox Sports secures rights for IndyCar starting in 2025 alongside Daytona 500 and Indy 500

Fox Sports has acquired the rights to broadcast IndyCar starting in 2025, securing network broadcasts for all 17 races and two days of qualifying for the Indy 500. This move positions Fox with two major races, the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's Daytona 500. The deal marks a shift from NBC, which previously split coverage among NBC, USA, and Peacock. The 2025 season will see all 17 races on FOX, with 19 windows on network television. The length of the deal is multiyear, and the races will have 2.5-hour windows, except for the Indianapolis 500 with a 5-hour window. This exclusive major broadcast network coverage for all races sets IndyCar apart as the only premier motorsports series in the country with such coverage. NASCAR's schedule, in contrast, is spread across multiple networks. The 2025 IndyCar schedule remains largely unchanged, with notable exceptions like the All-Star race at the Thermal Club becoming a points race. Fox Sports aims to leverage these iconic races to enhance its sports broadcasting portfolio, emphasizing partnerships with major events and brands.
