INDIANAPOLIS — With its new exclusive media rights deal for the next several years with Fox now in place, IndyCar also announced its full 2025 schedule on Thursday, more than three months ahead of schedule. The calendar, which includes a full slate of network TV windows on FOX, continues the trend of 17 points-paying races.

In its traditional spot on the calendar, the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg kicks off the 2025 IndyCar season on March 2, with the finale again at Nashville Superspeedway — same as this year (though it wasn't the original 2024 plan) — with next season ending on Labor Day weekend (Aug. 31) before the start of the NFL season.

Fox’s offer 'was too good.' Why IndyCar believes new media rights deal can lift series.

IndyCar is moving to Fox. And with it, a new race schedule.

The biggest change of the year comes with the evolution of IndyCar's visit to The Thermal Club now becoming a points-paying race. It remains in the late-March window from earlier this year to help plug the gap left by the loss of Texas Motor Speedway after the end of 2023. With that addition, IndyCar will run just a single race at the Milwaukee Mile, compared to this year's upcoming doubleheader.

Here's IndyCar's full schedule for next season below, with broadcast start times to come at a later date:
