IndyCar and NBC Sports have unveiled the broadcast schedules and start times for the 2024 season, which will begin March 10 with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg at noon ET.
The season opener is one of 11 events that will be on NBC, including the inaugural $1 Million Challenge exhibition March 24 at The Thermal Club in Southern California. There are six races on USA Network and two exclusively streamed on Peacock (July 21 at Toronto, Aug. 31 at Milwaukee). The start time for the April 28 race at Barber Motorsports Park on NBC still is awaiting finalization (the event traditionally has been held midafternoon).
All IndyCar events and races, as well as practice and qualifying sessions, will be streamed on Peacock during 120 hours of coverage. Peacock also will have full-event replays.

“The 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season is going to bring quite a bit of change to the schedule, changes that should be exciting for our fans watching the broadcasts and in-person,” 2023 Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden said in a release. “New races at The Thermal Club and The Milwaukee Mile bring new venues to the schedule, and crowning a champion in my hometown, Nashville, will be must-see television.”
