NBC, though, is not the only place fans can watch this year’s Indy 500, as multiple live-stream options are available. The Indy 500 can be streamed live via fuboTV. (New fuboTV users can sign up with a seven-day free trial.) The race also can be streamed on NBCSports.com and with the NBC Sports app.

The Indy 500 is the finale of what was scheduled to be an entire month of IndyCar coverage from NBC in Indianapolis. The first practice for the 2019 Indy 500 was scheduled to take place a full 12 days before the race, with a total of nine practices and four qualifying sessions sprinkled into the days leading up to the Indy 500. Practice sessions for the Indy 500 in the week leading up to the race, plus the morning qualifying session on Saturday, May 18, can be streamed live via INDYCAR Pass on NBC Sports Gold.

The Indy 500 has not seen a repeat winner since 2002, when Helio Castroneves reached victory lane, chugged the famed milk and kissed the bricks for the second consecutive year. That’s bad news for Penske racing’s Will Power, the winner of last season’s Indy 500. Of the 36 drivers who are entered to race in the 2019 Indy 500, seven — Castroneves, Power, Scott Dixon, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Tony Kanaan, Alexander Rossi and Takuma Sato — are previous Indy 500 winners.

Below is how to watch the Indy 500 in 2019, including the TV schedule, live stream info and qualifying results for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Indy 500 TV channel

The 2019 Indy 500 will be broadcast live on NBC. The presentation of the race, though, is the back end of what will have been a full month of IndyCar coverage from NBC Sports in Indianapolis.

The IndyCar Grand Prix, which took place on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway a couple weeks prior to the Indy 500, became the first IndyCar race ever to be shown on NBC. It’s part of NBC’s TV contract, which splits the IndyCar season coverage between two networks, NBC and NBCSN.

Leigh Diffey (play-by-play), Townsend Bell (analyst) and Paul Tracy (analyst) will call NBC Sports’ inaugural Indianapolis 500 broadcast on NBC.

Per a release, NBC’s commentary team for the Indy 500 also includes host Mike Tirico and former driver Danica Patrick (studio analyst). Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rutledge Wood will provide on-site reports, and Krista Voda will host pre- and post-race presentations. Marty Snider, Kelli Stavast, Kevin Lee and Jon Beekhuis will serve as pit reporters for NBC Sports’ Indy 500 coverage, along with IndyCar insider Robin Miller and reporter Dillon Welch.

Of the 17 IndyCar races on the schedule for 2019, eight, including both races in Indianapolis, were scheduled to be broadcast on NBC, and nine were scheduled to air on NBC Sports Network. NBC also offers additional coverage of IndyCar practices and qualifying sessions on its NBC Sports Gold app. (More on that below.)

NBC’s coverage of the Indy 500 from Indianapolis Motor Speedway will begin at 9 a.m. ET with a pre-race show on NBCSN. Coverage on NBC begins at 11 a.m. ET, with the race scheduled to start at noon ET.

Here’s the full starting order for the 2019 Indy 500:

Indy 500 past winners

Among active IndyCar drivers, Castroneves has the most career Indy 500 victories with three. He is the only active driver who has reached victory lane more than once in the Indy 500.

Castroneves (2001-02) is also one of five drivers who have won consecutive Indy 500s; Wilbur Shaw, Mauri Rose, Bill Vukovich and Al Unser Sr. are the others. Nobody has ever won three Indy 500s in a row.

The record for career Indy 500 wins is four. Unser Sr., A.J. Foyt, and Rick Mears share that record.

Below is the all-time list of Indy 500 winners.
