Background and series news

After IndyCar's television contract with NBC Sports lapsed in 2024, the series signed a new agreement with Fox Sports that saw all races being covered on the Fox broadcast network.^[1] On January 14, 2025, Fox announced its broadcast team for the 2025 season. Will Buxton was named the lead commentator while Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe, who previously served as analysts for NBC and are also former IndyCar drivers, retained their roles in the new lineup.^[2]

On September 23, 2024, IndyCar announced its first ever charter system, which will begin in 2025 and extend until 2031. 25 charters were awarded among all teams that competed full-time in the 2024 season, with a maximum of 3 for each team. Chartered entries are qualified to compete for the 22 Leaders Circle contracts. At every race on the calendar outside of the Indianapolis 500, starting fields were limited to 27 cars, and chartered entries were guaranteed a starting position. Qualification for the Indianapolis 500 would remain open, and no teams would have a guaranteed entry in the 33-car starting field.^{[N 1][5]}

As a new entrant in the series, Prema Racing was excluded from receiving charters. If a race event outside of the Indianapolis 500 were to feature additional cars, those would have to compete against the two Prema cars for the two 'open' spots in the field.^[6]

On February 11, Doug Boles was named as the new president of IndyCar, replacing Jay Frye. Boles will also continue to hold his role as president of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.^[7]

Numerous technical violations found during qualifying and the race for the Indianapolis 500, particularly involving the cars of Team Penske, led to the start of an overhaul of IndyCar's officiating system. The series announced after the race that they would create an independent officiating board for race stewarding and technical inspections, in part due to increasing concerns with Roger Penske owning both the IndyCar series and a competing team in the series. The new officiating board is targeted to be ready for the 2026 season.^[8] Further, the series announced their intent to begin using a scanning system during inspections to assist with finding possible rules infractions on cars.^[9]

On July 31, 2025, Fox parent company Fox Corporation announced that it had acquired a one-third stake in IndyCar parent company Penske Entertainment. As part of the acquisition, Fox Sports' contract was renewed for an unspecified period.^[10]

Confirmed entries

The following teams, entries, and drivers are contracted to compete in the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season. All teams will use a spec Dallara DW12 chassis with 2018 universal aero kit and Firestone tires.

Engine manufacturer standings

The top-two finishing full-season eligible entrants for a manufacturer in each race score points toward the engine manufacturer's championship. Points scored are the same as the driver's championship except for bonus points - a race win is worth five bonus points for a manufacturer, while a pole position is worth one bonus point (except at the Indianapolis 500). A full-season entry is eligible to score manufacturer points until it exceeds the maximum number of allowed engines per entry.^[69]

For Indianapolis 500 qualifying, the manufacturer that runs the fastest speed on Saturday receives one bonus point; while the manufacturer that qualifies on pole position receives two bonus points.

5. Lundgaard, the fastest qualifier, was assessed a 6-place grid penalty for an unapproved engine change. Pato O'Ward, who qualified 2nd, was the highest-placed driver not to have a penalty, and thus started the race from pole position. Lundgaard earned the pole award and the pole-winner's championship point.
