The Honda Indy Toronto is the only race on the 2023 IndyCar schedule which is set to be shown exclusively on Peacock, not NBC or USA Network.

The 2023 IndyCar season reached its halfway point two weekends ago at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with the ninth race on the 17-race calendar, the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio presented by the 2023 Accord Hybrid.

Exhibition Place is set to host the 10th race of the season, the Honda Indy Toronto, this coming Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. ET. IndyCar returned to Toronto, Ontario last year for the first time since 2019, as the race was called off for two consecutive years due to COVID-19-related restrictions.

Sunday’s 85-lap race around the 11-turn, 1.786-mile (2.874-kilometer) temporary street circuit, the lone Canadian race on the calendar, is also the only race on the calendar which is set to be broadcast exclusively on Peacock. It will not be shown on NBC or USA Network.

IndyCar fans will need a subscription to either Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus to watch Sunday’s race.

The season’s first seven races were broadcast live on NBC, though the recent races at Road America and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course were both shown live on USA Network instead. All nine were available on Peacock, but none were Peacock exclusives.

Beyond this coming weekend’s race, there are seven races remaining on the 2023 calendar. Six of those seven races are set to be shown live on NBC, with the lone exception being the Gallagher Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on Saturday, August 12. That race is set to air on USA Network beginning at 2:00 p.m. ET.

The May race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course — plus the Indy 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval — were both on NBC.
