The 2025 Indy 500 will be the 109th iteration of the event, but the first of its kind in various ways.
Among the changes of this year's race is the network it will be broadcast on, as the 2025 Indy 500 marks the first time that the historic race will be broadcast on Fox. As such, the network has gone all out in its first-ever coverage of the event.
As "America's new home for IndyCar," Fox will provide 60 hours of live coverage that, of course, culminates with the network's coverage of the race itself. Fox is, without question, one of the major players in live sports and will have some of its biggest personalities involved in the broadcast.
