NASCAR TV Schedule: How to watch every Cup Series race in 2026 with channels and streams

The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series is here, and we have all the intel you need on how to watch every single scheduled race on TV.

The sport signed a new TV rights deal in 2024, which runs from 2025 to 2031 and it will bring in record revenues of $7.7billion.

It also adds a layer of complexity though if you are a fan just trying to watch the action - there are more different channels than ever before.

The new rights deal sees Cup Series races appearing on FOX, NBC, Amazon Prime Video, TNT Sports AND the USA network (little brother/sister of NBC).

Things now get under at Bowman Gray Stadium on Monday February 2 when the Cook Out Clash kicks things off for 2026. That after a brutal snowstorm in Winston-Salem saw the race postponed from the original February 1 date.
