Where to Watch & Stream IndyCar Grand Prix of Portland 2023

The IndyCar Grand Prix of Portland has been on the calendar for almost 40 years now. This road course has changed over the years, but has kept most of the characteristics it had when it made its debut in the 1980s.

We're into the business end of the season now, as this is the penultimate round on the calendar in 2023. Alex Palou is the heavy favourite for the championship, but Scott Dixon has won the last two rounds of the championship.
