The IndyCar race today is broadcast on NBC for the majority of the 2024 season. To find the specific channel and start time for today's event, you should check the official IndyCar schedule or your local TV listings, as it can vary based on your location and the specific race. Many races are also simulcast on the Peacock streaming service.
Finding the exact channel (e.g., NBC, USA Network, or CNBC) depends on the race's contract and timing. Primetime or high-profile races like the Indianapolis 500 typically air on the main NBC network. Afternoon races often appear on the cable channel USA Network. Your best bet is to use the TV provider search on the official IndyCar website or a TV guide app.
For cord-cutters, a Peacock subscription is the most reliable way to watch all sessions live. Other streaming options include FuboTV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV, which carry the relevant NBC channels. Always confirm the session type—today's broadcast could be a practice, qualifying, or the actual race.
