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.
