Thanks to NASCAR’s latest broadcast deal, racing fans will have plenty of time to navigate television schedules and the web to watch the action on this year’s race weekends. What was originally split exclusively between Fox Sports and NBC now pushes race coverage to multiple outlets which will change in the 2025 season. We’re telling you when and where you can get coverage this year. (Note: You might want to bookmark this for later.)
fox
As in previous years, FOX will air the early portion of the season, beginning its coverage with the pre-season clash and the season-opening Daytona 500. FOX North will conclude its 2025 coverage of the race with the May All-Star Race in Wilkesboro. Aside from recent seasons, FOX will no longer own the rights to the Coke 600.
main
This is when things shake out. The Coke 600, NASCAR’s inaugural Cup race at Nashville, Michigan, Pocono, and Mexico City will all be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime, an unprecedented first for the sport. Following his departure from NBC, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be part of the broadcast team.
tnt
After a decade away from the sport, TNT is returning by winning some summer races, including the Dale Jr. He will take over from Prime in late June, broadcasting Atlanta, Chicago, Sonoma, Dover and concluding his run with the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. TNT’s tenure will also include NASCAR’s new in-season tournament where a bracket will be used to narrow the field and the winning driver will receive a $1 million dollar bonus.
nbc
NBC took over with Iowa in August and will air every remaining race through the end of the year, including all ten playoff races, via NBC or USA Network. This is also similar to last season, but some races will also air on Peacock.
Practice and Qualification
Now, things get more complicated if you want to watch practice and qualifying. While FOX will feature Cup practice and qualifying for the Daytona 500, the Clash at Bowman Gray and the All-Star Race, the rest of the on-track sessions will take place elsewhere. Amazon Prime will have practices and qualifying for the first half of the year while the last half of the year can be streamed on Max or watched on TruTV.
xfinity and trucks
Things are a little simpler for the bottom two national divisions. The CW will air all 33 NASCAR Xfinity races while FOX/FS1 will air all 25 NASCAR Truck races.
