How to Watch NASCAR on TV
If you have a cable plan and want to watch NASCAR on live TV, the channels you’ll need are Fox, FS1, NBC, and USA Network. These channels split NASCAR coverage, so you’ll want all four to watch every NASCAR race on live TV.
How to Watch NASCAR Online Without Cable
Don’t have cable? Not a problem. There are plenty of ways to watch NASCAR online without cable: Below are some of the best streaming services that let you watch NASCAR live streams online. These services will let you watch NASCAR on Roku, Firestick, and other streaming devices, as well as your phone, laptop, or tablet.
Note: Be sure to check each streamer service’s channel lineup to make sure Fox and NBC are available in your area.
Watch NASCAR on DirecTV Stream
With Fox, FS1, NBC, and USA in its extensive channel lineup — and a five-day free trial — DirecTV Stream is our favorite streaming way to watch DirecTV Stream online. You’ll just need DirecTV Stream’s most affordable package, the Entertainment plan, which brings a total of over 90 channels. This package costs $79.99 a month after the free trial.
Watch NASCAR on Sling
A cheaper way to watch NASCAR without cable is to get a live TV streaming service like Sling. You’ll get access to live TV channels including Fox, FS1, NBC, and USA Network, making Sling an easy way to live stream NASCAR online. The Sling Blue package (which gets you all the channels for NASCAR) is also very well-priced, starting at $40 a month ($25 off your first month right now)
Sling
Sling is one of the most affordable live TV streaming services, with packages starting at $40 a month. You can get up to 46 channels in the Sling Orange + Blue plan, plus more with Sling’s add-ons.
Watch NASCAR for Free on fubo
Another great live TV streaming service that will let you watch NASCAR online is fubo. With Fox, FS1, NBC, and USA Network in its channel lineup, you’ll be able to watch every NASCAR race online on streaming devices like Roku. Just double-check fuboTV’s local channel lineup to make sure Fox and NBC are available in your area. fubo packages start at $79.99 a month ($30 off your first month right now), and all packages start with an all-inclusive free trial before you pay.
Watch NASCAR on Peacock
NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock is now offering a great selection of NASCAR live streams, as well as on-demand NASCAR content like Chase and Lost Speedways 2. Unlike a live TV streaming service, there are no regional restrictions, and Peacock is very affordable. To watch NASCAR online using Peacock, you’ll only need Peacock Premium, which costs just $7.99 per month.
How to Watch NASCAR for Free Online
Looking to watch NASCAR live streams for free? Take advantage of DirecTV Stream’s five-day free trial or fuboTV’s free trial. During the trial windows, you’ll be able to watch NASCAR for free online through Fox, FS1, NBC, and USA, which are all included in both service’s channel lineups. This means you can watch two NASCAR races for free without committing to a month-long subscription.
