Arrow McLaren announced on Sept. 23, 2026 that Scott Dixon will take the No. 6 and Felix Rosenqvist will take the No. 7 for the team's 2027 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. Pato O'Ward will continue in No. 5, and Ryan Hunter-Reay is slated to run the team's extra Indianapolis 500 entry as No. 31.

The team said the change gives Dixon a new car number in INDYCAR competition for the first time in more than two decades—he raced No. 9 for all but one of the previous 24 seasons (No. 1 in 2004). Rosenqvist returns to No. 7, the number he drove for Arrow McLaren in 2021-22. Arrow McLaren also revealed a revised number font to match McLaren Racing's Sept. 22, 2026 rebrand; the team said fans will see the 2027 liveries when the season begins.
