The NTT IndyCar Series has announced that its already extensive global broadcast partner list is expanding for the 2026 season.
While IndyCar is broadcast within the United States exclusively on free, over-the air FOX stations, the series partners with multiple other broadcasters for other regions of the world.
Fans living in over 200 countries and territories will be able to follow this season’s IndyCar races in their homes.
New for this season, Band Sport is returning as a broadcast partner in Brazil following an eight-year break.
The renewed partnership will allow fans of Brazil’s Caio Collet, a rookie with AJ Foyt Racing this season, to follow along with the young driver’s progress.
Across many European countries, including the UK, Sky Sports will continue as IndyCar’s broadcast partner.
ESPN will continue to serve large populations of IndyCar fans in parts of Africa, Latin America, and Mexico, which will assist Pato O’Ward’s large fanbase as they follow his progress this season.
“IndyCar’s growth trajectory is the best in sports and that includes significant expansion of our global availability and new interest from international audiences,” Penske Entertainment President and CEO Mark Miles said.
“This season, 14 nations and territories will be represented in our full-time lineup, and, with that, it is crucial that platforms are available to showcase the intense, wheel-to-wheel action of IndyCar to their countries and our international fanbase.
“We are delighted to announce this list of new and renewed partners, who will intensely follow what we believe will be a thrilling 2026 NTT IndyCar Series season.”
In addition, the IndyCar’s official ladder series IndyNXT will see a more widespread distribution this season, including first-time coverage in Poland so fans of the 19-year-old rookie Tymek Kucharczyk can follow his progress.
