MOORESVILLE, N.C. — An historic broadcast schedule for the Indy NXT by Firestone Series was announced on Thursday with all races televised live on FS1 and FS2.
It’s the first time in series history that all of its events will be televised live.
Indy NXT by Firestone is the developmental series for IndyCar, giving a final step up the ladder to a career in the NTT IndyCar Series.
Twelve Indy NXT races will appear live on FOX Sports’ FS1 with two airing on FS2.
Additionally, all practice and qualifying sessions for the IndyCar developmental series will air on a combination of FS1 and FS2. All IndyCar programming also streams live on the FOX Sports app.
“As part of IndyCar’s exceptional partnership with FOX Sports, Indy NXT by Firestone will receive unprecedented exposure,” Penske Entertainment Corp. President and CEO Mark Miles said. “As we have seen, the competition in IndyCar’s developmental series is fierce and intense.
“A full season of live races on network television via FS1 and FS2 will prove to be a significant showcase for Indy NXT and the drivers vying to advance to the NTT IndyCar Series.”
In 2024, Indy NXT averaged the most starters (19.5) since 2009 and is on pace to see a record 24 full-time starters in 2025.
