2026 NASCAR TV Schedule
Complete TV schedule for Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and Craftsman Trucks. Every race, channel, and start time.
All times Eastern. For full race details including laps, miles, and track info, see the Cup Series schedule.
NASCAR TV Networks Explained
The 2026 NASCAR season is broadcast across seven different networks and streaming services. Here's how Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and Craftsman Trucks coverage is split between broadcasters — and what you need to watch each one.
FOX Sports
FOX has been NASCAR's flagship broadcaster since 2001 and carries the first half of the Cup Series season — from the Daytona 500 through Pocono in late June. In 2026, FOX airs 5 Cup Series races including the Daytona 500. Mike Joy anchors the booth alongside analysts Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick.
FS1
FS1 is FOX's sister cable network and carries 8 Cup Series races plus 25 Craftsman Truck Series races — essentially the entire Trucks schedule. FS1 also airs most Cup Series practice and qualifying sessions throughout the FOX half of the season.
NBC
NBC takes over Cup Series coverage at the midsummer break and runs through the regular-season finale at Daytona. In 2026, NBC airs 4 Cup Series races on broadcast television. Rick Allen calls the races with Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte in the booth.
USA Network
USA Network is NBC's cable partner and carries most Cup Series races during the fall stretch and throughout The Chase. In 2026, USA airs 10 Cup Series races, including nearly every Chase event leading up to the Homestead-Miami finale. USA dominates postseason broadcasts.
TNT
TNT returned to NASCAR in 2025 after a long absence and holds a dedicated midseason Cup Series window — the TNT Summer Series. In 2026, TNT airs 5 Cup Series races as a bridge between the FOX and NBC halves of the schedule. Coverage is also available via the Max streaming app.
Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video began streaming exclusive NASCAR Cup Series races in 2025 and carries 5 Cup races in 2026. These races are streaming-only — they are not simulcast on any cable or broadcast network. An Amazon Prime membership is required to watch the Prime Video window.
The CW
The CW is the exclusive broadcast partner for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series (formerly Xfinity) starting in 2025 and carries all 33 O'Reilly races in 2026. The CW is available free over-the-air with a digital antenna, making it one of the most accessible NASCAR packages for cord-cutters. Most live-TV streaming services also include The CW.
How to Watch NASCAR
Cord-cutter options. Every cable NASCAR broadcaster — FOX, FS1, NBC, USA, and TNT — is carried by the major live-TV streaming services. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, and Sling TV all include the full cable lineup, which covers nearly every Cup Series and Truck Series race. For the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, The CW is free over-the-air with a digital antenna, so you don't need any subscription at all.
NASCAR-specific streaming. NASCAR TrackPass (included with Peacock Premium) gives you in-car audio, scanner feeds, and live timing and scoring for every Cup Series schedule race. MRN (Motor Racing Network) and PRN (Performance Racing Network) broadcast radio play-by-play for most races — a useful companion during a race or when you can't get to a screen. MRN streams free at mrn.com on race day.
Prime Video window. Starting in 2025, Amazon took a slice of the Cup Series as streaming-exclusive races. You can't watch these races on cable or any other streaming service — an Amazon Prime membership is the only way in. During The Chase, coverage shifts to USA Network and NBC, so no postseason races are locked behind Prime.
