How to watch 2026 Indy 500 on TV

The 110th running of the Indy 500 will start at 12:45 local time on Sunday, May 24th at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The race will be shown live on Fox Sports in the United States after IndyCar changed broadcasters from NBC ahead of the 2025 season, with commentary coming from Will Buxton, Townsend Bell, and James Hinchcliffe.

In the UK, the race will be shown live on Sky Sports Mix. It will not be shown in full on Sky Sports F1, owing to the Formula 2 and Formula 1 Academy races taking place in the build-up to the F1 Canadian Grand Prix later in the evening.

Whilst Sky will have Tom Gaymor offering commentary, this will be as filler for when the host Fox broadcast is on a commercial break.

In Australia, the race will be shown live on Stan Sport, and in New Zealand, it will be on Sky Sport.

In terms of the local blackout for Indiana, this has been lifted once again meaning those not attending the Brickyard will be able to watch on TV, and not suffer a tape delay.

ApexF1News will be providing a live blog, full report, and results from the race.
