If you’re watching the Indy 500 live stream, tune in to see if we can relive 2008. No, not for any particular trend, technology or milestone: Scott Dixon (who last won the race in 2008) took pole and is looking to take home his second victory in one of the biggest races of the year.
Indy 500 start time, schedule and channel
The Indy 500 live stream will take place on Sunday (May 29) and is scheduled to begin at 12:30pm ET / 9:30am PT / 5:30pm BST.
It’s on NBC, Peacock Premium and Universo and should end at 4pm ET.
However, a higher win count is in the eyes of Helio Castroneves, winner of the 2021 edition of the Indy 500 (his fourth). Castroneves would be the first to win the big race five times if he took home first place this weekend. Unfortunately for him? Well, he’s 27th out of 33 on the grid, so he’s already in for a big chance.
Dixon’s teammate Alex Palou, who is second on the grid, is also favored for second.
Also, it appears that the Indy 500 will be spared the showers forecast for Indianapolis for most of the coming days. Reports indicate clouds will part for a warm and sunny Sunday.
Oh, and speaking of those who need speed, Top Gun: Maverick (in theaters Friday before the race) star Miles Teller has been selected as the honorary starter for the big race.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch Indy 500 live streams online:
How to watch Indy 500 live streams from anywhere on earth
