Three top Team Penske executives — Tim Cindric, Ron Ruzewski and Kyle Moyer — have paid the price with their roles, setting up an unmissable Indy 500. Read on and we'll explain how you can watch Indy 500 live streams from anywhere with a VPN. 2025 Indy 500 live stream, date, time, channels The Indy 500 live stream takes place on Sunday, May 25. ► Time: 12:45 p.m. ET / 9:45 a.m. PT / 5:45 p.m. BST / 2:45 a.m. AEST (Monday) • U.S. — FOX via Sling TV • Canada — TSN Plus • U.K. — Sky Sports • Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free An inspection ahead of Top 12 Qualifying last Sunday found that the seams of the attenuator component in both Josef Newgarden's and Will Power's cars had been filled in, when the rules expressly forbid them from being modified. Newgarden and Power will line up in 32nd and 33rd. The scandal makes for an awkward weekend for Roger Penske, owner of Team Penske, IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, especially as this is the second major controversy to engulf the team over the past year, after push-to-pass-gate led to then-reigning champion Newgarden's disqualification last April. On top of that, Russian-Israeli rookie Robert Shwartzman took pole position for Prema Racing, with Takuma Sato (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing) and Pato O'Ward (Arrow McLaren) lining up in 2nd and 3rd respectively. O'Ward arrives as favorite and Shwartzman will need something special if he is to hold off the Mexican sensation. Here's everything you need to know to watch Indy 500 live streams online and without cable. How to watch Indy 500 live streams in the U.S. (Image credit: Shutterstock) For the first time ever, FOX is showing the Indy 500 in 2025. If you don't have the channel on cable, try a cord-cutting TV service like Sling TV. The Sling Blue plan carries FOX and starts at $45.99, though you'll get $10 off your first month. Sling Blue lets you watch live NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, F1, Premier League, Nations League and Copa America soccer, French Open tennis, The Open, US Open and PGA Tour golf, AFL and more, via the likes of Fox, NBC, FS1, NFL Network, USA Network, TruTV, TBS and TNT. For a limited time, you can get a $10 discount on your first month. Other options for Indy 500 Sling is king here. But if you are considering other streaming options, choose wisely. DirecTV Stream (5-day free trial) carries NHL Network on its MyNews plan, costing $39.99 per month before tax. Fubo (7-day free trial) carries FOX on its Pro plan, which costs $84.99 per month, but you'll get your first month for $64.99 after a 7-day free trial. If you're outside of the U.S. but would normally have access to one of the above options, you can watch an Indy 500 live stream by using a VPN, such as NordVPN. How to watch Indy 500 online from anywhere Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the race on your subscriptions? You can still catch your usual Indy 500 live stream thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software makes your devices appear as if it's back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So it's ideal for fans away on vacation or on business. NordVPN is our top choice at the moment, and our NordVPN review explains why. Exclusive deal If you've heard of NordVPN, there's a good reason: We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 7,000 servers, across 110+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend. Get 70% off with this NordVPN deal Where to watch Indy 500 live streams in Canada (Image credit: Shutterstock) Indy 500 is live on TSN 4, TSN 5 and TSN Plus in Canada. The streaming service has access to all TSN has to offer on an $8/month or $80/year subscription basis. If you're outside Canada but have a subscription, you can watch Indy 500 live streams using a VPN such as NordVPN. How to watch Indy 500 live streams in the U.K. (Image credit: Shutterstock) Sky Sports is showing the Indy 500 in the U.K., so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels. The race will be shown on Sky Sports F1. Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV. Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that. If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 and if you're a big motor racing fan you can catch the Monaco Grand Prix (5:45 p.m. BST) just beforehand on the same channel. If you're not in the U.K., you can still follow your usual Indy 500 live stream by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN. How to watch Indy 500 live streams in Australia (Image credit: Shutterstock) Aussies can watch the Indy 500 live stream on Stan Sport. Stan can be accessed via a wide variety of devices including many smart TVs, iOS and Android phones, Chromecast, Apple TV and more — plus it costs a very reasonable AU$27 per month ($12 for a Basic subscription and $15 for the Sport add-on). Not in Australia right now? You can simply use a VPN to watch all the action on your Stan account as if you were back home – our favorite is NordVPN.
