IndyCar is one of the most underappreciated motorsport series outside North America - partly because international broadcast coverage is patchy and confusing. This guide gives you the clearest picture of how to watch the NTT IndyCar Series in 2025, wherever you are.
United States
IndyCar is far more accessible in the United States than most international series. NBC and USA Network carry races throughout the season, with the prestigious Indianapolis 500 broadcast on NBC main channel - free to air for anyone with an antenna.
Free options: NBC main channel (with antenna) for most major races including the Indianapolis 500. USA Network requires cable.
Streaming: Peacock carries the full season including practice, qualifying, and races. The NBC-owned streaming service costs less than most motorsport streaming platforms.
United Kingdom
The Motor Trend channel carries IndyCar in the UK, typically on a delayed or highlights basis rather than live. Sky Sports Showcase occasionally carries selected events live.
Free options: Limited. Motor Trend is a paid channel. Check The Racing Line app for the most current broadcast listings.
Australia
Fox Sports Australia carries selected IndyCar rounds, particularly the Indianapolis 500 and marquee oval events. Kayo Sports subscribers get this via streaming.
Free options: Limited outside the 500 on occasion.
Canada
RDS (French) and TSN (English) carry IndyCar in Canada. Both require cable or streaming subscriptions.
The Indianapolis 500
The 500 is the most widely broadcast IndyCar event globally, with the NBC live broadcast available via antenna in the United States and broadcast deals in multiple other territories specifically for this one event. If you want to watch one IndyCar race, make it the 500 - it is one of the greatest sporting events in the world.
How to Stay Up to Date
IndyCar’s broadcast situation changes between seasons and sometimes mid-season. The Racing Line app keeps current broadcast details for every round in your region, with all session times automatically converted to your local timezone. Download free on iPhone or Android.
