Attention racing fans (and those who live with them): As you probably already know, today is the 105th round of the Indianapolis 500 will take place at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Pre-race coverage begins on NBC at 11 a.m. EST, and the race itself begins at 12:45 p.m. EST. Here’s how to watch.

Here’s how to see the Indy 500 without a cable

The good news is that the Indy 500 broadcasts on network television – NBC to be precise – so no cable is required to tune in. However, you may need to take an antenna with you if you don’t already have one. You can also follow the race through the official Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) live stream.

If none of these options are available, you can watch them on the following streaming services using NBC and / or NBCSN (or sign up for a free trial):
