"We're excited to begin our next chapter in 2027," Team Principal Tony Kanaan said in a press release. "This team has continued to raise the bar year after year, and with Pato, Scott, Felix, and Ryan in the cockpit, we believe we have the tools to achieve our goals.
"While fans will have to wait a little longer to see the 2027 liveries, today's announcement offers a fun glimpse of what lies ahead."
Rosenqvist is already familiar with the No. 7. He drove this entry for the team in 2021-22. He will take it back after a stint at Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian.
Dixon, however, will have a new number for the first time in more than 20 years. He controlled the No. 9 for all but one of his seasons with Chip Ganassi Racing, but he will have the No. 6 moving forward.
This lineup marks a major change for Arrow McLaren. The team fielded three full-time entries last season with O'Ward as the only returning member of the group.
Christian Lundgaard won two races for the team and finished third in the championship standings. He lost his seat as Arrow McLaren brought in Dixon, but he will move over to a new team.
Meanwhile, youngster Nolan Siegel will try to find a new opportunity after a season of struggles in which he posted only two top-10 finishes.
Arrow McLaren Racing will showcase the new driver and number lineup on Sunday, March 7, as the NTT IndyCar Series heads to St. Petersburg, Florida.
