“I can’t wait for the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season to begin, and what a way to kick things off in St. Petersburg again on NBC,” said Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou, the reigning and two-time IndyCar Series champion.
“We’ll be returning with our two goals in focus – winning the Indianapolis 500 and winning the championship – and I know our entire team is counting down the days until we have a chance to put all our hard work and preparation this offseason to the test.”
The Grand Prix of Long Beach, which stands as the second round of the championship, will be the first to be broadcast on USA Network and Peacock at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 21.

Meanwhile, the second race will be shown on USA Network and Peacock on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
“The 2024 NTT IndyCar Series 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,” said Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden, defending race winner of the Indianapolis 500.
“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. The Indianapolis 500 is always thrilling, and when you combine it all together, you get a schedule that fans will not want to miss.”
Peacock is once again providing comprehensive streaming coverage of the 2024 season, which includes the exclusive race on the Streets of Toronto for a third consecutive year at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 21.
