A new broadcast rights deal will see IndyCar move from NBC Sports to FOX Sports in 2025.
That coverage will be live and exclusive on Australian streaming service Stan Sport.
The new deal will see every IndyCar race shown on network television in the United States, which has been hailed a groundbreaking move for the series.
“The unrivaled exposure FOX will bring to the IndyCar Series, including an additional hour of Indy 500 pre-race coverage, will prove to be a spectacular showcase for our drivers and teams,” Penske Entertainment Corp president and CEO Mark Miles said.
“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.”
Under its current deal, Stan Sport has carried practice and qualifying as well as every race live and ad-free.
All but two races in 2025 will be Monday morning races for Australian viewers.
Just the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course races nd the first leg of the Iowa Speedway double-header will take place on Sunday morning.
