Buckle Up for Broadcast Bliss: NBC Takes the Wheel
The one and only NBC is your official pit stop for all things Indy 500. That's right, folks, fire up your TVs and get ready for a day of high-octane entertainment. Pro tip: Stock up on snacks beforehand – you won't want to miss a single pit stop (or commercial break, we're not judging).
But wait, there's more! The pre-race show kicks off on Peacock (NBC's streaming service) at 11 AM Eastern Time, serving up exclusive content to get you pumped. Consider it the appetizer before the main course of glorious, gasoline-fueled mayhem.
Streaming the Dream: Your Digital Oasis of Speed
Can't be tethered to the TV? No worries! Here's where the magic of streaming services comes in:
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
- Peacock: If you've already subscribed for that binge-watching session of "Parks and Rec," you're golden! Peacock will be streaming the entire race, so get ready to unleash your inner Andy Dwyer and celebrate like a champion (even if you're on the couch).
- FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV: These streaming giants also offer NBC in their packages, so if you're already a subscriber, you're good to go! Just remember, some regional restrictions might apply, so check your plan beforehand.
Remember: For our international friends, INDYCAR LIVE is your best bet. This streaming service offers access to the race, so you can witness the Indy 500 glory no matter where you are in the world (as long as internet allows).
So You Want to See the Race in Person? (The Brave and the Bold)

If you're feeling adventurous (and can snag tickets!), then by all means, go for it! Just be prepared for crowds, potential heatstroke, and a serious case of racing fever.
