How to watch INDYCAR's Music City Grand Prix on the streets of Nashville

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES returns to the streets of Nashville this weekend for the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, a pivotal race in the battle for the 2023 championship and the newly announced finale for the 2024 season.

INDYCAR drivers will race wheel to wheel down the picturesque Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Cumberland River, and past the Tennessee Titans’ Nissan Stadium along the narrow and technically demanding temporary street circuit.

The Nashville street circuit is known for intense battles and racing action. Last year’s race produced the most on-track passing of any street circuit on the 2022 calendar and delivered the closest finish on a street circuit in IndyCar history.

So when should you tune in to catch the race?

Sunday, August 6th: Big Machine Music City Grand Prix

The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix on the streets of Nashville will begin at 12:00 p.m. ET on Sunday on NBC and Peacock.

See y'all in 2024 on Broadway.
