Indy Lights announces 14 race schedule for 2022 season

The 2022 Indy Lights season will be contested in fourteen races across eleven circuits as the series starts a new era under IndyCar management.

The season will begin on the streets of St Petersburg on February 27, the first of eleven weekends run alongside the NTT IndyCar series.

“To have all 14 races included with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule and its world-class venues is a tremendous step forward,” said Levi Jones, director of Indy Lights.

“In addition to competing for the 2022 championship, Indy Lights drivers, crew members and teams will be able to see up close how event weekends run and operate in INDYCAR.”

“Racing is the part they’ve known their whole life.”

Our goal is to also allow them the opportunity to see what it takes to become a true professional.”

“The chance to connect and closely interact with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES paddock is a pathway to realize that goal.”

The calendar includes three double-header events, as well as three test days throughout the year.

All races will be broadcast in the US on Peacock Premium, with international broadcast arrangements yet to be announced.
