Revving up the national celebration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, excitement has been building for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C. since the event was announced in January. INDYCAR’s two-day motorsports street festival honoring the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will be free and open to the public, offering unprecedented access to one of the world’s premier racing series. Beginning on Friday, May 29, fans will be able to request free General Admission (GA) tickets to the historic weekend through the online Freedom 250 Grand Prix Ticketmaster portal. More information on the Freedom 250 Grand Prix and how to request free GA tickets to the event is available now at Freedom250GP.com.
“We are so excited to celebrate America and our country’s 250th birthday in just 100 days at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C.,” said Bud Denker, Chairman of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. “We want everyone to have a chance to experience this very special patriotic weekend featuring the NTT INDYCAR SERIES racing in one of the most historic and iconic settings in the world. We encourage fans to register for free tickets and join us August 22-23 as we bring the speed, the excitement and the energy of INDYCAR to the streets of our nation’s capital.”
Fans will be able to log into the online Freedom 250 Grand Prix Ticketmaster portal beginning on Friday, May 29, and request free GA tickets for the historic weekend. Two-day tickets for both Saturday and Sunday (Aug. 22-23) will be available by request, along with single-day tickets for Saturday (Aug. 22) or Sunday (Aug. 23) only access. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix online ticket request window will extend from Friday, May 29 through Sunday, June 7. Ticket requests will be selected by a random Ticketmaster drawing after June 7 and registrants will be notified by email whether or not their requested tickets have been fulfilled. Limited tickets are available and submitting a request will not guarantee tickets for the weekend.
Fans that are selected through the drawing will receive tickets in one of the two Freedom 250 Grand Prix ticketed areas – either the STARS Ticket Area or the STRIPES Ticket Area (learn more at Freedom250GP.com). A General Admission ticket will be required to access either the STARS Ticket Area or the STRIPES Ticket Area and a ticket to one area will not grant access to the other area. Each fan that requests tickets through the online portal will be eligible to secure a maximum of four free General Admission tickets per day.
The Freedom 250 Grand Prix 1.7-mile, seven-turn street circuit will wind around the National Mall and some of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Designed with fan accessibility, breathtaking views and safety at its core, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix street circuit will feature the cars of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES racing on a sweeping .4-mile frontstretch along Pennsylvania Avenue, framed by the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. The pit lane area of the track will be adjacent to Pennsylvania Avenue, between Turns 1 and 2. The INDYCAR field will also race by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art and the National Archives on the challenging and picturesque course layout.
With hundreds of thousands of fans expected to attend the two-day event and millions more watching the racing action around the world – including live on FOX across the U.S. – the Freedom 250 Grand Prix is poised to deliver a once-in-a-generation celebration of speed, accessibility and American history in the heart of Washington, D.C.
