2026 NTT IndyCar Series in Arlington
The 2.73-mile race track will weave around the Arlington Entertainment District, including both AT&T Stadium, the home of the Cowboys and Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers, who won the World Series last year. Both Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Rangers chief operating officer Neil Leibman spoke about their excitement in being a part of this grand event.
“We are thrilled to join forces with the Texas Rangers, Penske Entertainment, and the City of Arlington to bring Grand Prix racing to the streets of the Arlington Entertainment District,” said Jones. “The collaboration between our organizations will make the IndyCar Grand Prix of Arlington special, providing a unique NTT IndyCar Series race experience for fans attending, while also creating a showcase with our friends at FOX and those watching around the world. An event of this magnitude is another great reflection of what we imagined over 15 years ago that AT&T Stadium could be a part of.”
“Today is a historic day for the Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment,” said Leibman. “We are proud to be at the forefront of the IndyCar Grand Prix of Arlington alongside such esteemed organizations in Penske Entertainment and the Dallas Cowboys. This event will set a new standard for the Arlington Entertainment District, and we look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to experience what Arlington has to offer.”
