How to watch the NASCAR TV schedule

NASCAR's Cup Series season is split across five broadcast partners, each owning a stretch of the calendar: FOX and FS1 open the year with the Daytona 500 and the early races, Prime Video takes the late-spring block, TNT and HBO Max carry five summer races, and NBC with USA Network closes the season through the playoffs. Which network has this weekend's race depends entirely on where the calendar sits — the live NASCAR schedule names the carrier for every upcoming race.

When is the NASCAR TV schedule?

The Cup Series runs February to early November every year. Each race weekend's carrier follows the five-partner rotation: FOX/FS1 early season, Prime Video in late spring, TNT/HBO Max for five summer races, then NBC/USA Network for the playoff run to the championship.

Frequently asked

What channel is the NASCAR race on this weekend?
It depends on the season block: FOX or FS1 in the early weeks including the Daytona 500, Prime Video in late spring, TNT (streaming on HBO Max) for the five-race summer stretch, and NBC or USA Network from the playoffs to the finale. The live NASCAR schedule lists this weekend's race with its carrier.
Why does the NASCAR TV channel change during the season?
The 2025-2031 media deal splits the calendar among five partners rather than one network carrying all year — FOX opens, Prime Video and TNT take the middle, NBC closes. Each handoff is scheduled in advance, so the pattern is predictable once you know which block the date falls in.
Can I stream NASCAR races without cable?
Yes, all five ways: the FOX and NBC races stream on their apps (with FS1/NBC games also carried by most live-TV services), the Prime Video block needs only a Prime subscription, the TNT summer races stream on Max, and every race's listing links to the official source for confirmation.
