Fox Sports Reschedules IndyCar Ad Debut for NFL Divisional Playoffs
Los Angeles, Sunday, 11 January 2026.
Fox Sports has strategically adjusted the launch of its marquee IndyCar promotional campaign, moving the debut from the NFL Wild Card weekend to the Divisional Round games scheduled for the weekend of January 17, 2026.

The revised timeline underscores the network’s calculated approach to leveraging its premium football broadcasting rights to effectively cross-promote the IndyCar property to a broader sports audience.
