The NTT IndyCar Series is back for 2026, with an expanded race calendar providing an additional weekend of action for fans. 

The Freedom 250 will make its debut this summer with a circuit of the streets of Washington, D.C., adding the nation's capital to an iconic series of courses from St. Petersburg to IMS to Laguna Seca.

No matter where the drivers start their engines, though, the overriding question all season will be whether anyone can slow down Alex Palou. The Spaniard had a staggering run of dominance in 2025, winning eight of the 17 races and finishing in the top five in a staggering 14 of them. 

Pato O'Ward, who had a pair of wins and finished a distant second in the standings, will hope to gain more ground in 2026 along with Kyle Kirkwood, a three-time winner last season. 

It should be a wild ride whatever happens. Here's everything you need to know to watch every race in 2026.
