IndyCar announces the first portion of its 2027 NTT IndyCar Series schedule, releasing “Phase 1” on August 12. The update covers the first half of the season and includes three consecutive race weekends to begin 2027.
Both outlets report that the schedule is being unveiled in phases, with Phase 1 representing an initial release rather than the complete calendar. The key shared detail is the structure of the early season: IndyCar starts 2027 with three straight race weekends, before moving into later rounds covered by subsequent phases.
Forbes and Yahoo Sports describe the announcement in essentially the same terms, with no material differences in the timing of the release or the characterization of the opening stretch. They both frame the information as an initial step toward a full 2027 schedule, to be completed as additional phases are published.
