The IndyCar Series on ABC, also known as the IndyCar Series on ESPN, was the branding used for coverage of the IndyCar Series produced by ESPN, and formerly broadcast on ABC television network in the United States. ABC first began airing races that are now part of the IndyCar Series in 1965 with that year's running of the Indianapolis 500 on its Wide World of Sports anthology series, with the network having broadcast the 500 every year until 2019. Since 1965, ABC had been the exclusive home of the Indianapolis 500. ABC and ESPN lost full coverage of the IndyCar Series in 2018 to NBC after they joined airing events in 2009.
