2026 Indy 500: Start Time, TV Channel, Live Streaming, Starting Grid

Palou, seeking back-to-back wins at the iconic Indianapolis 500, will start from pole position, aiming to join the elite group of drivers who have achieved this feat. However, only five pole-sitters have won the race since 2000, with Simon Pagenaud being the most recent in 2019. The pressure is on for Palou to defend his title on one of the most challenging tracks in motorsports.

Another driver to watch is Katherine Legge, who is attempting to make history as the first woman to complete “double duty” by racing in both the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Legge, starting from the 26th position, will return to the IndyCar series after a hiatus since the 2024 season finale. The challenge of competing in two high-profile races in a single day is not to be underestimated, as the legendary Tony Stewart remains the only driver to achieve a top-10 finish in both races.

Meanwhile, Helio Castroneves is chasing a record fifth Indianapolis 500 victory, hoping to break the tie with Rick Mears, Al Unser, and A.J. Fort for the most wins. If successful, Castroneves, at 51 years old, would also become the oldest driver to win the prestigious event. His experience and skill make him a formidable contender, alongside two-time winner Takuma Sato, who at 49 years old, could also make history as the oldest winner.

For fans eager to catch all the action of the 110th Indianapolis 500, the race will take place on Sunday, May 24th, at 12:24 p.m. ET at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. The event will be televised on Fox, with a live stream available on fubo for those looking to stream the race online. Don’t miss this thrilling display of speed, skill, and history in the making at one of motorsport’s most iconic races.
