The 2024 schedule was revealed on October 27, 2023. It will feature two street circuits, five road courses and one oval round. The round at Sebring International Raceway was dropped in favor of a triple-header at NOLA Motorsports Park, this results in the round at Indianapolis Motor Speedway reducing to a double-header.
