How to watch NASCAR in 2026 without cable:
To watch every single race of the 2026 NASCAR season, you'll need a couple of different streaming services. You can stream NBC, USA, Fox, FS1, TNT, and truTV on streaming platforms like DirecTV and Hulu + Live TV, which will get you access to the majority of this year's races, but you'll also need a Prime Video subscription if you want to catch the Coca Cola 600, the Cracker Barrel 400, FireKeepers Casino 400, NASCAR Cup Series Race at Pocono and the Anduril 250. Races airing on NBC and USA will also be available to stream on Peacock, and races airing on Fox and FS1 will be streaming on Fox One. And once again, HBO Max will also be showing alternate driver-cam angles at every race this season.
DIRECTV has the channels you need to watch hundreds of live sporting events including a majority of this year's NASCAR Cup Series races. With access to NBC, USA, TNT, truTV, CW, Fox, FS1 & 40+ regional sports networks, it's one of the most comprehensive places to watch sports. After a free trial, packages start at $84.99/month.
Prime Video is one of this year's destinations to watch five NASCAR Cup series races in May and June, as well as this weekend's practice and qualifier on Saturday.
On top of great sports streaming on Amazon Prime Video, an Amazon Prime subscription includes free shipping, exclusive deals, Amazon Music, a year of free GrubHub+ and more. A standard Amazon Prime subscription is $15 monthly or $139 annually, but discounts are available for students and those on qualified government assistance. You can try Amazon Prime free for 30 days.
Hulu’s live TV tier includes access to live TV channels like NBC, FOX, USA, FS1, ESPN, and more. That means you can watch NASCAR across almost every channel airing coverage in the US — and enjoy over 95 other channels. You’ll also enjoy access to unlimited DVR storage. Hulu + Live TV starts at $90/month after the free trial period.
