The IndyCar Series on Fox is a presentation of IndyCar Series racing produced by Fox Sports.
On June 13, 2024, IndyCar announced that Fox Sports had acquired the rights to the IndyCar Series under a multi-year deal beginning in 2025, replacing NBC Sports. Fox Sports stated that it would carry all 17 events, plus the Indianapolis 500 qualifying sessions, on the Fox broadcast network, while Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 would carry shoulder programming such as qualifying and Indy NXT series races.

In January 2025, Fox began an advertising campaign for its inaugural season, including promos highlighting IndyCar drivers such as Josef Newgarden, Álex Palou, and Pato O'Ward; several of these promos premiered during Fox's NFL playoff coverage, while three IndyCar promos aired throughout Fox's broadcast of Super Bowl LIX.
