Every race of the 2023 IndyCar Series will be available to stream on Peacock, including the Indianapolis 500 in May, NBC Sports Group announced on Wednesday. The 17 races will run from May through September and will be shown on NBCUniversal’s linear channels including NBC and USA Network, while all races will also stream on Peacock. One race, in the streets of Toronto in mid-July, will stream on Peacock exclusively, as will qualifying and practice coverage and other content not available anywhere else.
“We’re very excited for our 2023 NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule and to build on this past season’s viewership milestones,” NBC Sports VP of programming Mike Perman said. “In providing comprehensive coverage across NBC, Peacock, and USA Network, NBC Sports is once again looking forward to telling the stories of these world-class drivers and this compelling series.”
