NBC announces full Indy 500 TV slate

Can Alexander Rossi and Andretti Autosport reverse their defeat at the hands of Team Penske last year, or will Roger's team win the 500 for the 19th time?

The 104th Indianapolis 500 will mark the first time the Greatest Spectacle in Racing will be held outside of May, and “When is the Indy 500?" is one of many questions about Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s signature race.

The green flag will drop on the 2020 Indy 500 at 2:30 p.m. ET on Aug. 23, nearly three months after its originally scheduled date. All associated concerts and the 500 Festival Parade in downtown Indianapolis have been canceled.
