You can watch the 2026 Daytona 500 on regular TV or via several legal streaming options in the U.S.

Main ways to watch (live)

  • Broadcast TV:
    • Live on FOX on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, with the race scheduled to start at about 2:30 p.m. ET.
  • FOX streaming:
    • Live on FOXSports.com and the FOX Sports App (sign‑in with a TV provider).
  • FOX One / FOX digital service:
    • FOX’s own streaming option, often marketed as FOX One , offers a live stream of the Daytona 500 with a free‑trial style signup for new users in many regions.

If you don’t have cable

You can still watch the Daytona 500 live by using live TV streaming services that carry FOX in many markets.

Common options include:

  • YouTube TV (includes FOX in most U.S. areas)
  • Hulu + Live TV
  • Sling TV (only in select markets where FOX is available)
  • FuboTV (sports‑focused, carries FOX in many regions, often with a free trial)

You’d just:

  1. Pick a service that carries FOX in your ZIP/postcode.
  1. Start a free trial (if available).
  1. Tune to the FOX channel at race time.

Practice, qualifying, and Speedweeks coverage

If you want the full Speedweeks experience around the Daytona 500:

  • FS1 (Fox Sports 1) shows much of the practice and qualifying coverage.
  • Some sessions and support races also appear on CW / CW App and FOX depending on the day.

These channels are available through:

  • Traditional cable/satellite packages that include FS1 and CW.
  • The same live TV streaming bundles (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, in markets where those channels are offered).

Watching replays or on demand

  • A full replay or extended highlights are often available later on the FOX Sports app or FOXSports.com if you log in with an eligible TV provider.
  • Fans sometimes look to replay‑oriented communities for archived races, but those are unofficial and can be removed or geo‑blocked.

Forum‑style advice (what other fans say)

On NASCAR fan forums, people commonly suggest:

  • Using the FOX Sports app or your TV provider’s app to catch a replay once the race ends.
  • Checking dedicated replay communities (like motorsports replay forums) if you missed live coverage and don’t mind downloading instead of streaming—though availability varies and may be in a legal gray area.

“A replay might be accessible on the Fox Sports app once the race finishes. You should be able to sign in with your Dish credentials.”

TL;DR:
If you’re in the U.S., put simply: turn on FOX at about 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026 , or stream it through FOXSports.com / FOX Sports App or a live TV streaming service (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, FuboTV) that carries FOX in your area.
