Where to watch IndyCar live and online

I confess that I spent a lot of time looking for a good, quality solution and, of course, without all that annoying advertising.

So, after testing several services, I realized that those who live in the US (or use a VPN to simulate being there) have great options to enjoy each stage of the IndyCar Series.

NBC Sports – The Official Home of IndyCar

If you want reliable service, NBC Sports is, without a doubt, the most complete option.

The broadcaster has the official broadcast rights to Formula Indy in the United States.

You can watch it on both cable TV and the app. NBC Sports, which works super well.

And look, the quality of the broadcasts is impeccable.

They provide full coverage, with practice sessions, qualifying sessions and, of course, all the races live.

To access, you need a US TV subscription or services such as:

• Sling TV
• Hulu + Live TV
• YouTube TV
• FuboTV
• Peacock Premium

And speaking of Peacock…

Peacock – The cheapest (and official) option

THE Peacock Premium It's simply a helping hand. NBC itself created this streaming service for those who want to watch live content without needing cable TV.

It costs much less than other services and broadcasts all the Indy races. And you know what's best? You can try it for free for a few days, depending on the promotions they launch.

I used Peacock a lot when I lived abroad and honestly, it's one of the best value for money options.

Popular platforms that stream IndyCar

For those who prefer not to stick to NBC, there are other well-known platforms in the United States that broadcast Formula Indy live:

FuboTV – The darling of sports

If you are one of those who loves sports in general, FuboTV It's almost an amusement park. They specialize in sports, including football, Formula 1, IndyCar and more.

The good thing is that they offer a free trial period, so you can enjoy a few rides without spending anything.

Hulu + Live TV – All in one place

THE Hulu is already known for its catalog of series and films. But the Hulu + Live TV brings live channels, including NBC, where Indy races take place.

The experience is very good, but the price tends to be a little higher.

YouTube TV – Simple and efficient

THE YouTube TV It's very complete. It has NBC, full Indy coverage and over 85 live channels. And, of course, you can watch it on YouTube itself, which makes everything very practical.

I discovered a way to watch Formula Indy for free (and almost no one talks about it)

Now hold on to this tip, because it’s worth its weight in gold!

Pluto TV – That’s right, Pluto TV! It’s a free streaming service, very well-known in the US, that broadcasts several sporting events, including content from Formula Indy.

Okay, not all races are shown there. But they have reruns, special programs, behind-the-scenes footage and, depending on the stage, some live broadcasts are also available.

The most incredible thing is that you don't need to register, you don't need a card and there are no catches. Just access and watch.

I myself was surprised when I found out, because almost no one talks about it. It's that option for those who want to follow along without spending a penny.

How do I watch it? My personal strategy

I'm going to tell you exactly how I do it today to not miss any IndyCar race:

1. Access the Pluto TV to see if there is any free content available.
2. When I want to watch everything, without missing anything, I subscribe to Peacock Premium, which offers great value for money.
3. And, in the most important races, if I feel like watching it on the big TV, I use it FuboTV in the trial period or subscribe for a month.

It works really well. And I'll tell you more... There's no better feeling than hearing the roar of the engines, watching the starts and cheering, even from your couch at home.
