How to watch the 2025 Indy 500 live for free: Schedule, streaming, more
It's time to head to the Brickyard for the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500.
Today is a busy day for fans of motorsports, beginning with this morning's Formula One Monaco Grand Prix and ending later tonight with the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 — and it will be be particularly buy for one man, Kyle Larson, who is going to attempt to start and finish both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.
This year's 'greatest spectacle in racing' had a shake up during inspections; defending champion Josef Newgarden and his Penske teammate Will Power were both found to have an illegally modified spec part on their cars.
Newgarden, who also won the 2023 edition of the Indy 500, could become the first driver to record three consecutive wins at the Indy 500, but beginning in the back row makes finishing first a long shot. Whoever wins, whether it's Newgarden or someone else, will get to experience the race's traditional milk celebration.

How to Watch Tottenham vs Newcastle United: Live Stream Soccer Friendlies, TV Channel

Tottenham faces Newcastle United on Sunday in an important preseason friendly matchup as the 2025-26 English Premier League season approaches quickly.

Photo by Lampson Yip -How to Watch Tottenham vs. Newcastle United Date: Sunday, August 3, 2025 Time: 7:00 a.m. ET Venue: Seoul World Cup Stadium Channel: CBS Sports Network Stream: Fubo (try for free) Tottenham is currently undefeated in preseason play, although just two of those four matchups resulted in victories. Most recently, Tottenham defeated rival Arsenal 1-0 thanks to a 45th-minute goal by Pape Matar Sarr. Newcastle United, meanwhile, most recently fell to the South Korean All-Star team 1-0 due to a 36th-minute goal by Kim Jin-Kyu. Before that, Newcastle United fell 3-2 to Arsenal in what was a very exciting matchup. Newcastle fell despite taking an early sixth-minute lead courtesy of an Anthony Elanga goal. Afterwards, Jacob Murphy drew the game level at 2-2 in the 58th minute, though Arsenal's Martin Ødegaard eventually won the game for Arsenal with an 84th-minute goal from the penalty spot. Last season, Arsenal finished second in the Premier League standings with 74 points in 38 matches, a full 10 points behind league-winning Liverpool, which secured its 84 points. Arsenal drawing 14 times in 38 matches is ultimately what ruined its title hopes. Newcastle, meanwhile, finished the season in fifth place, good enough for automatic Champions League qualification for next season. With two of the top-five teams in the Premier League last season facing off on Sunday morning, the Arsenal vs. Newcastle United match is not one you will want to miss. Tune into the CBS Sports Network at 7:00 a.m. ET on Sunday morning to watch this matchup between Tottenham and Newcastle United, which will take place in beautiful Seoul, South Korea.

What to watch for in today's NASCAR Cup race at Iowa Speedway
NEWTON, Iowa — The race at the top and the bottom of the playoff standings could change dramatically after today's 350-lap event at Iowa Speedway. Chase Elliott leads the standings by four points over teammate William Byron. Fellow Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson is 15 points behind Elliott. Denny Hamlin is fourth in the standings, 20 points behind Elliott. All four drivers start 11th or better at the .875-mile track today (coverage begins at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network). Elliott starts eighth, Byron is second, Larson is third and Hamlin is 11th. The race for the final playoff spot will intensify among RFK Racing teammates. Chris Buescher holds the final playoff spot by 42 points on teammate Ryan Preece. But both start deep in the field. Buescher qualified 27th and Preece 33rd. Nate Ryan, Teammate Brad Keselowski — who must win to make the playoffs — starts fifth. That's his best starting spot of the season. Should he win today, Keselowski could knock Buescher out of a playoff spot. 'We're certainly getting into the groove with the 6 car,' Keselowski said. 'We had a slow start. Some of it was self-inflicted. Some of it was just bad circumstances. It's kind of a mixture of a number of things. I feel like our team has matured in a lot of ways. Different people in different roles have matured, and now we're able to execute at a much higher level. I think we're seeing that and it gives us a lot of hope.' Finishing the job Chase Briscoe starts on the pole for his series-high sixth time this season, but he's not won any of the previous races from the No. 1 starting position and managed only one stage victory in those events. With the playoffs approaching, Briscoe has collected only seven playoff points — tied for seventh among the 13 drivers who have won this year. Dustin Long, Briscoe said the lack of playoff points is something he and crew chief James Small have 'talked a lot about. 'As a race team we feel like we are a championship four contender with the speed we have right now,' Briscoe said. 'But with the playoff grid, it's really top heavy. But the rest of the field only has five or seven points. Even if we can get just a couple of playoff points with a stage win — (or) a race win where you can get five extra points — is a huge deal right now. It's something that's definitely on our mind.' Can Briscoe control the race and score a victory in the opening stage and turn it into a race win? Family reunion It was quite the sight after last year's inaugural Cup race at Iowa. Several friends and family members joined winner Ryan Blaney on the stage after his memorable evening. Many of them will be back for today's race. Blaney said about 80 friends and family members are expected, slightly down from last year's total. Blaney, who starts second, enters the race having scored back-to-back top-10 finishes for the first time since early May. 'The last couple of years we've been a little bit behind through the first half of the year and then we kind of really been able to figure it out toward end of the regular season, especially the playoffs, but this year, I feel like we've had speed all year. 'We've had that speed that we've been chasing the last couple of years early in the season and it's just been a little bit rougher over the year for at least my group. A lot more DNFs than I would personally like.' Blaney will seek to have another family reunion in victory lane today and score his third consecutive top-10 finish — something he hasn't done this season.
