what channel is nascar on

NASCAR races in 2026 are shown across several major TV networks rather than just one single channel.

Quick Scoop

For the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026, races are split between:

  • FOX
  • FS1
  • NBC
  • USA Network
  • TNT (via TNT Sports)
  • Prime Video (select events via streaming)

For the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts (Xfinity) Series:

  • The CW Network shows the full 33‑race season as the exclusive broadcaster.

For the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series:

  • Mostly on FS1, with a couple of races on FOX.

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

  • If it’s a big Sunday Cup race early in the year (like the Daytona 500): look for FOX on regular broadcast TV.
  • Many mid‑season and playoff Cup races: look for NBC or USA Network.
  • Secondary Cup events and Truck races: check FS1.
  • All “O’Reilly Auto Parts” (Xfinity) races: go straight to The CW.

Quick viewing tip

Local listings and your TV provider’s guide are still the final word, because the exact channel number depends on your cable/satellite/streaming service and region.

TL;DR: There isn’t one single “NASCAR channel” — in 2026, check FOX/FS1, NBC/USA, TNT, Prime Video, and The CW depending on the series and week.
