The annual Indianapolis 500, also known as the Indy 500, is getting ready to start. Taking place on Sunday, May 25, the race will feature 33 drivers. Countless racing fans are eagerly waiting to see who will take home the Borg-Warner Trophy, and for those who couldn’t make it to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we have details on how you can watch the event live on TV — including the specific channel to tune in to.
Below you will find information on which channel the Indy 500 will be broadcast on, as well as additional details about the race.
The Indy 500 is scheduled to start at 12:45 Eastern Time, when the green flag waves.
The following schedule for the Indy 500:
The Fox channel will broadcast the Indy 500 live. Pre-race coverage and previews will begin at 10:00 Eastern Time.
Among the 33 drivers is last year’s winner, Josef Newgarden, who is aiming for a third consecutive victory this year. A win would be historic for the Indy 500. After winning the 2024 Indy 500, Newgarden became the first driver to win two years in a row since Helio Castroneves.
Before the race in Indiana, Newgarden spoke with The Athletic about his goals. He noted his long-term goal in racing, which is to win the Indy 500 «five times».
«You have to focus on what you can control», - Newgarden said. «The tough part about the Indianapolis 500 is how do you stay focused on what’s in your control? It can look very different every year. There can be different stressors pushing you. If you can just get yourself to a place where you’re focused on the task, you know what’s in front of you, and you know what you control, then you’re mentally preparing for the best possible day. That’s what we do».
Typically, the Indy 500 race lasts about three hours. Therefore, the race should finish right before 4:00 Eastern Time
