This article takes you through where you can watch & stream the IndyCar Grand Prix of Monterey 2023 this weekend.
Indycar is into the business end of its season in 2023. Previous rounds include Texas, Long Beach, the Alabama GP, the Indianapolis GP, the Indy 500, Detroit, Mid-Ohio, Toronto, Iowa, Nashville, Illinois and Portland.
Next up, we head over to California for the Grand Prix of Monterey 2023. This is the seventeenth and final round of the 2023 IndyCar Season.
This race takes place during the afternoon on the west coast of America. So, the session times aren't too bad for Europeans to tune in. Here's all the info you need to watch and stream the 2023 IndyCar Grand Prix of Monterey.
Where to Watch & Stream IndyCar Grand Prix of Monterey 2023
The first IndyCar Grand Prix of Monterey was held 40 years ago now. Laguna Seca has held IndyCar races since 1983 and is undoubtedly one of the most iconic racing circuits in the United States.
The Monterey GP was off the calendar between 2005 and 2018, but it's back now. While the driver's championship has been decided, we can't wait to see IndyCars zooming around Laguna Seca's legendary corners this weekend.
After taking victory last weekend in Portland, Alex Palou is the favourite for the win this weekend. Indeed, the new IndyCar champion won this race 12 months ago.
Other winners on the current grid include Colton Herta, who won in both 2019 and 2021. The most successful IndyCar driver at Laguna Seca is Bobby Rahal, who won four times in a row between 1984 and 1987.
Other multiple victors here include Danny Sullivan, Michael Andretti and Paul Tracy, Bryan Herta and Patrick Carpenter with a pair of wins each.
The Indy NXT Series will also be in action for their final rounds of the season this weekend. But where can you watch & stream the IndyCar Grand Prix of Monterey 2023, though? Let's find out!

We'll begin with the UK, where all sessions will be shown live on Sky Sports F1. Sky Sports F1 will be the only channel to see all sessions of the 2023 season live in the UK.
Monterey is on the Pacific Time Zone, so it's eight hours behind the UK. That means that the sessions are either in the afternoon, evening or night for British viewers. The race, for example, starts at 7:30 pm on Sunday evening:
