Your Complete Guide to Watching the 2026 INDYCAR Season Finale at Laguna Seca

The 2026 IND CAR calendar wraps up in a spectacular fashion at California’s iconic WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The Mission Foods Grand Prix of Monterey is set for Sunday, September 6, and fans can tune in to see the drama unfold on FOX and FOX One.

If you’re itching for the action earlier in the weekend, the schedule kicks off on Friday, September 4, with practice sessions that will be streamed live on FS2. Those laps give drivers a chance to dial in the perfect line through the famous ‘Corkscrew’ before qualifying rolls around on Saturday.

Saturday’s qualifying – also on FS2 – will decide the starting grid for the Sunday showdown. Expect the fast‑track coverage to start around 12 p.m. PT, though local listings may shift a bit. The race itself is slated to start at 2:30 p.m. PT on September 6, so set your alarms and clear your calendar.

On race day, FOX will carry the main event, with a simulcast on FOX One for those who can’t catch the primary channel. The broadcast will feature the usual mix of on‑track commentary, pit‑lane insights and those heart‑stopping moments that only Laguna Seca can deliver.

Can’t make it to a TV in front of you? No problem. The Fox Sports app and the Fox+ streaming platform will both stream the practice, qualifying and race live, provided you have a cable‑or‑satellite login that includes the FOX networks. If you don’t have a traditional subscription, you can also pick up the Fox Sports Live stream through most major streaming bundles (like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling TV or FuboTV).

For those who love to stay on top of the championship chatter, remember that Alex Palou already locked down his fifth IND CAR title (and fourth straight) back at the Milwaukee Mile on August 30. While the championship battle is technically over, the points fight for the rest of the field is still very much alive. Pato O’Ward, fresh off a double‑header win at Milwaukee, is one driver to watch as he pushes for a podium finish in Monterey.

In short, whether you’re a die‑hard fan with a TV guide or a cord‑cutter using a streaming service, you’ve got multiple ways to watch the season finale. Mark your calendar, pick your platform, and get ready for a thrilling end to an unforgettable 2026 IND CAR season.
