ARLINGTON, Texas (Thursday, March 13, 2025) – In just 365 days, the streets of Arlington, Texas, will come to life as the stars of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES bring “The Fastest Racing on Earth” to one of the nation’s premier sports and entertainment districts.
The INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington will take place March 13-15, 2026, with practice and qualifications set for Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14, respectively. Everything builds toward an epic race day Sunday, March 15, featuring a national network showcase on FOX.

“The INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington is definitely circled on the calendar,” said Arrow McLaren NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Pato O’Ward. “Texans love racing, and they love big events. So, this is going to be mega. Hopefully, it will set the new standard for a street circuit race in North America.”
The 2.73-mile, 14-turn track layout will feature three iconic sporting venues recognized by fans around the world: AT&T Stadium, home of the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys, Globe Life Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers and Choctaw Stadium, former home of the Texas Rangers. The track will weave through Arlington’s core sports and entertainment district, which features an all-star lineup of events and venues and annually sells several million tickets to spectators near and far.
“As someone who calls this area ‘home,’ I’m super excited to see the NTT INDYCAR SERIES coming to DFW,” said AJ FOYT RACING’s Santino Ferrucci, a Dallas-area resident. “The course layout is really unique and will let us reach top speeds, making the racing incredibly exciting for all the fans.”
