Media Television Both the Saturday and Sunday races were scheduled to air on NBC and Peacock. However, due to coverage of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the Saturday race was moved to CNBC; Peacock still streamed the race. This is the last Iowa double-header on NBC, as the 2025 edition will air on Fox as part of their new IndyCar deal.
