In its first broadcast on Fox, the Indianapolis 500 saw more viewers tuning into the race on TV at home than we've seen in nearly two decades.

Alex Palou's historic win also brought big viewership to the first running of the Indy 500 to ever air on FOX, which saw a 40% jump in viewership from last year.

Fox Sports' coverage of the 2025 Indianapolis 500 drew 7.05 million viewers, up 40% over last year and the most-watched Indy 500 race since 2008.
