what channel did the nascar race switch to

February 15, 2026

The recent NASCAR broadcast setup doesn’t have a single one-time “switch” for all races, but there are a few key channel changes fans have been talking about. Here’s the short version:

For the 2026 season, NASCAR Cup Series races are split across FOX, NBC, TNT Sports, and streaming/partner platforms like Prime Video, with cable coverage on FS1, USA Network, and TNT.

Early‑season Cup races (including the Clash and the Daytona 500) air on FOX and FS1.

Later in the season, coverage shifts (“switches”) to NBC and its cable partner USA Network, plus additional races on TNT Sports and Prime Video as part of the current media-rights deal.

Because NASCAR now uses a package of channels, the exact “switch” depends on which race you mean (for example, the Clash at Bowman Gray is on FOX after being rescheduled, with qualifying on FS1/FS2). If you tell me which race or date you’re asking about, I can narrow it down to the specific channel that particular event moved to.
