IndyCar Phoenix 2027: Phoenix Raceway dates, viewing and tickets

IndyCar Phoenix 2027 date and format

The Good Ranchers 250 is provisionally scheduled for Saturday 13 March 2027, following practice on Thursday 11 March. In 2026 the race was held on 7 March, so the slot moves about a week later. As with every date on this page, treat it as provisional until the series confirms the full schedule.

Phoenix is an oval, and it follows the street race at IndyCar St. Petersburg. Moving from a street course to a banked oval in a single week changes the car set-up completely, so teams arrive with very different priorities.

What to expect at IndyCar Phoenix

Racing on the oval at IndyCar Phoenix

Ovals reward close-quarters racing: cars run in a pack, tow each other and swap places lap after lap. The speeds are high and the action is easy to follow because you can see most of the track from your seat.

Choosing seats for IndyCar Phoenix

We do not have confirmed grandstand names for 2027, so we stay general. Higher rows give a broader view of the whole oval, while lower rows put you closer to the pit lane and the start line. Look at the seating plan on the ticket page when it appears.

IndyCar Phoenix tickets and timing

Sales for this round have not opened yet, which is why the alert above is useful. Once categories go live, the Tickets button on this page will show what is on offer. We do not quote prices, as they differ by category and change over time.

The Arizona round sits just before IndyCar Arlington and IndyCar Barber, so fans planning a long spring itinerary can pair rounds in different states.

Visiting Avondale for IndyCar Phoenix

Avondale is in the Phoenix metropolitan area, so stay in the wider valley and allow time for traffic on race day. March weather is usually pleasant, but the sun is strong, so pack sunscreen, a hat and ear protection. Session times will be released by the organiser a few weeks before the event.
