Below is everything you need to know about how to watch IndyCar online during the 2023 season.

How to Watch IndyCar Racing Online: Livestream Without Cable
For any cord-cutter NTT fans, there are plenty of ways to watch IndyCar and the Indy 500 online. Below are a few services that let you stream IndyCar online. No matter which option you choose, you’ll be able to watch IndyCar livestreams on your streaming devices, Smart TV, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
1. Watch IndyCar on Peacock
One of the easiest ways to watch IndyCar online is Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform. Besides IndyCar livestreams, Peacock also has a host of other live sports, including MLB and NFL games, and hit shows like Yellowstone on-demand.
Peacock does have a free tier, but you’ll need Peacock Premium if you want to watch live IndyCar races. Plus, Peacock Premium is very affordable at just $4.99 per month.

2. Watch IndyCar on DirecTV Stream
Another option that lets you watch IndyCar online is a live TV streaming service like DirecTV Stream. It’s essentially everything you get with a DirecTV cable package, turned into a streaming service that you can access online. And with USA channel included (as well as over 140 other live TV channels), you’ll be able to stream IndyCar online using any smart device (note that some races are only on NBC, which isn’t included in DirecTV Stream).
DirecTV Stream plans start at $69.99 per month, but you get a five-day free trial to start.

3. Watch IndyCar on Sling
Budget-friendly live TV streaming service Sling delivers access to both NBC and USA with its Sling Blue package. This makes it a great way to watch IndyCar livestreams online using your streaming devices or smart TV.
Sling Blue costs $45 a month, but right now they’re running a deal that gets you 50% off your first month, bringing your first payment down to just $22.50.

4. Watch IndyCar on fuboTV
Another good live TV streaming service that lets you watch IndyCar livestreams is fuboTV. With both NBC and USA in its channel lineup (plus hundreds of other channels) you can stream IndyCar races online. fuboTV costs $74.99 per month but starts with a seven-day free trial to test out the service.

How to IndyCar Online Free
Want to watch IndyCar livestreams for free? It’s possible — if you know where to look.
As mentioned, fuboTV offers a seven-day free trial, and DirecTV Stream has a five-day free trial. Both of these free trials will get you access to NBC and/or USA for free during the trial period, letting you stream IndyCar online for free. This is a great hack if you just want to watch one IndyCar race for free (i.e. you could watch the Honda Indy Toronto online for free during one of the free trials).
IndyCar Schedule 2023
The 2023 NTT IndyCar season began in February and will run through the beginning of September. Up next is the Honda Indy Toronto in Toronto on July 16. Head to IndyCar.com for the full 2023 IndyCar schedule.
