IndyCar moves to Fox Sports in 2025 after 16 seasons with NBC. Fox now has Daytona 500 and Indy 500

Fox Sports said Thursday it acquired the rights to broadcast IndyCar starting in 2025, a move that gives the network two of the biggest races in the world with the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's Daytona 500.

Fox Sports already broadcasts the first half of the NASCAR schedule.

Terms of the deal between IndyCar and Fox Sports were not revealed but Fox promised all the races would be on national broadcast, as well as qualifying for the Indy 500. NBC had held the rights to IndyCar since 2009 and its most recent three-year extension was believed to be worth $20 million per season.

But NBC Sports had moved coverage of all practices and qualifying sessions to its app, Peacock, and many of IndyCar's races have been on cable. Earlier this season, NBC moved the crown jewel race at Long Beach to the USA Network and received just over 300,000 viewers; the race had 1.026 million viewers in 2023 when it was aired on NBC.
