Watching live NASCAR races in 2025 is easier than ever, with multiple streaming options catering to different needs. Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive package with every Cup Series race, a way to catch your favorite drivers in Xfinity or Trucks, or a budget-friendly option without cable, there’s a service for you. While NASCAR doesn’t offer its own standalone streaming service like some other leagues, races are widely available across FOX, FS1, NBC, and USA Network, and you can stream them with providers like DIRECTV, Sling, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV. Select races may also stream on Peacock and NBC Sports.

Here’s a breakdown of the best ways to stream NASCAR races this season.

To stream these networks online, you’ll need access through a live TV streaming service that includes your local FOX and NBC affiliates. This is key if you’re not near a cable box or satellite service.

Out-of-Market Broadcasts

Unlike traditional team sports, NASCAR doesn’t have market blackouts. Every Cup Series race is a national broadcast. That means you won’t need a regional sports network to watch your favorite drivers — just the channels carrying the race.

If you’re traveling, you can stream races using your live TV service’s mobile app or website, as long as your service includes FOX, FS1, NBC, or USA Network.
