Final FOX Indy 500 numbers increase

The final numbers are in for Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 and the initial average audience size of 7,050,000 provided by Nielsen’s Fast ratings service has been revised upwards to 7,087,000 viewers on Sunday.

The slight increase also helped the original year-on-year increase of 40.3 percent over the 5,024,000 delivered by NBC in 2024 to 41 percent.

In combining the Indy 500 with the five previous races broadcast by FOX and averaging the audiences, an improvement of 30 percent has been achieved over 2024 where last year’s 1,830,000 following Indy has improved to 2,383,000.
