IndyCar Expands Global Reach Ahead of 2025 Season

IndyCar is preparing for the 2025 season with a major expansion of its international television partnerships, enhancing its global footprint ahead of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Notable collaborations include Motorvision+ for German-speaking countries, ESPN's coverage across sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, and #Vamos in Spain. These partnerships aim to increase the visibility and accessibility of the NTT IndyCar Series, featuring a diverse driver lineup from 11 nations, including well-known racers like Pato O'Ward and Alex Palou.

The series has also moved its U.S. broadcasting to FOX Sports, introducing a new commentary team led by Will Buxton, with analysts Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to engage a wider audience, with INDYCAR LIVE continuing to provide direct access to racing content in regions without dedicated broadcasters. The announcement of these partnerships reflects IndyCar's growing popularity and competitiveness on the global stage, enabling fans worldwide to connect with the exciting action of IndyCar racing through various media outlets. Mark Miles, President and CEO of Penske Entertainment Corporation, emphasized the importance of this growth in partnerships as a sign of the series' expanding international appeal and reach.
