The Indy 500: Finding the Race Between the Mayhem (and the Milk!)
Ah, the Indy 500. A day of roaring engines, questionable fashion choices (looking at you, giant foam fingers), and enough milk to fill a swimming pool (though that's best left to the winner). But where do you catch all the action? Fear not, armchair racers and mayo-averse viewers alike, for this guide will steer you in the right direction.

| What Tv Station Is The Indianapolis 500 On |
The Classic Choice: NBC
That's right, the one and only NBC will be your broadcast pit stop for the Indy 500. They've been showing the race for years, so they know all the best angles to capture the pit crew ballets and the near-miss mayhem on the track. Expect expert commentary, interviews with drivers who somehow manage to look composed after hurtling around a death trap at 200 mph, and maybe even a glimpse of a rogue squirrel that somehow snuck onto the course (it's happened!).
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
Cutting the Cord? No Sweat!
For those who've ditched cable and are living life on the streaming edge, fret not! The Indy 500 will also be streaming live on Peacock, NBC's streaming service. Just be sure you have a subscription, otherwise you might be stuck watching cat videos instead (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not quite the same as the roar of the crowd).
Bonus! Catching the Race in Another Language
For our multilingual racing enthusiasts, the Spanish-language channel UNIVERSO will also be broadcasting the Indy 500. So crank up the volume, brush up on your Spanish racing vocabulary (anyone know how to say "milk bath" in Spanish?), and ¡disfruta la carrera! (That means "enjoy the race" for those who haven't brushed up on their Spanish).
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
