How to watch the Indianapolis 500 online

This weekend, the eyes of the racing world turn towards Indiana. There will be events all weekend from The Brickyard, ramping up to the big race on Sunday. You don’t need cable to fill your weekend with the fastest action on the track. Here is how to watch the Indianapolis 500 online.

The 2019 Indianapolis 500 is being held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana. The race will be on Sunday, May 26, starting at 11 a.m. Eastern, but there will be events to watch all weekend long. The Indianapolis 500 is the major event of the season for the IndyCar Series of open wheel racing in the U.S.A.

The thirty-three driver field features returning champion Will Power, but it does not feature former champion Fernando Alonso or any other drivers from McLaren Racing. Alonso missed in the final qualifier, and Jenna Fryer of the AP has a full break down of all the problems that resulted in McLaren’s failure to gain a spot in the field. Instead, be on the lookout for Josef Newgarden, a young driver who has already achieved much in the sport as the 2017 Series Champion. Other favorites to kiss the bricks after a victory include Alexander Rossi and Scott Dixon.
