Arrow McLaren has confirmed its 2027 NTT INDYCAR SERIES lineup and car numbers.

Pato O’Ward remains in the No. 5 entry for another campaign.

Scott Dixon adopts the No. 6, departing his long-held No. 9 identity.

Felix Rosenqvist returns to Arrow McLaren in the No. 7, reuniting with familiar personnel.

Ryan Hunter-Reay will contest the Indianapolis 500 as an additional No. 31 entry.

The announcement includes a refreshed car-number font, aligning with McLaren Racing’s recent rebrand.

That branding, unveiled September 22, takes effect in January 2027 across the organization.

Dixon’s arrival follows a landmark 2026 Indianapolis 500 victory, providing immediate credibility within the program.

His move comes after Dixon’s split with Ganassi, ending a defining era and resetting expectations.

It will be Dixon’s first time racing No. 6 in INDYCAR, excluding 2004’s No. 1.

O’Ward’s continuity offers a stable reference for development, strategy cadence, and pit crew operations.

Rosenqvist’s return follows Rosenqvist’s MSR farewell, restoring established processes and data familiarity within Arrow McLaren.

Hunter-Reay’s May program should deepen oval preparation, broadening feedback loops and simulation validation ahead of race week.

Team principal Tony Kanaan signals confidence that the quartet can meet competitive targets across 2027.

The season opens March 7 in St. Petersburg, where early execution will benchmark integration progress.

Series momentum from INDYCAR’s 2026 record metrics heightens expectations for Arrow McLaren’s refreshed package.

Livery reveals remain pending, but the number style offers an early signal of 2027 direction.
