MADISON, Ill. (Dec. 19, 2025) – INDYCAR officials announced today the broadcast start times for the INDY NXT by Firestone season, which will feature the series’ return to World Wide Technology Raceway on Sunday, June 7, 2026. The broadcast will begin at 4:30 p.m. CT on FS1.
The developmental open-wheel series will kick off a Sunday triple-header that includes INDY NXT by Firestone, a 66 lap USAC Silver Crown “Route 66 Classic,” and the NTT INDYCAR SERIES event set to begin at 8 p.m. CT and broadcast on FOX.
Serving as the eighth stop on the INDY NXT by Firestone calendar, the rising stars of INDYCAR battle it out on their first oval of the season. WWT Raceway is one of three ovals on the series calendar for 2026 and presents a different challenge to racers.
In 2025, Lochie Hughes took his second victory of the season at WWT Raceway after passing polesitter Caio Collet on Lap 60 and leading the remainder of the race.
INDY NXT by Firestone drivers have a strong record around the 1.25-mile oval. During the 2025 Bommarito Automotive Group 500, the podium featured all INDY NXT by Firestone champions Kyle Kirkwood, Pato O’Ward and Christian Rasmussen.
The 2026 weekend will feature both INDY NXT by Firestone and NTT INDYCAR SERIES, along with plenty of off-track entertainment.
