IndyCar 2025: Thermal Club start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 NTT IndyCar series hits California this weekend for The Thermal Club Grand Prix.

The race follows an exciting season-opener earlier this month in which Chip Ganassi Racing star Alex Palou showed once again why he is a three-time IndyCar champion.

The Spaniard beat the likes of Scott Dixon and Josef Newgarden to the checkered flag around the streets of St. Pete, starting his title defense in the best possible fashion.

Palou will fancy his chances this weekend too having been victorious at the 2024 IndyCar race at The Thermal Club. Last year's event was a non-championship exhibition, however, whereas for 2025, the race is a full point-scoring event.

It will be exciting to see if Palou comes out on top once again, or whether one of his rivals can halt the Spaniard's early season momentum to kickstart their own title bid.

With that said, we've got all the details you need to know ahead of the weekend and how you can watch all of the action unfold live!
