How To Watch NASCAR in 2025

[@MotorsportWeekly]

Use this as the "please let the 500 end under green" button

[@81casperflip]

@MotorsportWeekly when Earnhardt won the 500 it ended under caution and everyone loved it. It's not a big deal

[@Mass1fy]

Kyle Busch comes to the caution flag to win the Daytona 500. 20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration, Kyle Busch wins the Daytona 500!

@@Arc_Troopa_SamIt’s funny because the original intent of the 2001 TV deal was to make it easier to find races. Prior to 2001, ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS, TBS, TNN, and NBC (homestead only) had races. 25 years later, we go back to the future.

Man I miss when it was FOX and NBC

[@JBAlternate]

It's pretty damn sad that we aren't even guaranteed a way to watch every Xfinity race if our local station airs something else instead. Not even a "watch on our app" situation. We're entering a rough era for the sport. The number one way to turn fans away from the sport is to not air the races they want to watch.

[@Noman1010-nh6uh]

How does that make sense?

[@Jeradcooks]

That’s on CW not nascar

[@SteveHarris-qw4iw]

Try NASCAR Drive. For Xfinity Races you get at least 3 in car cameras to choose from, you just won't have any spoken commentary during the races, but you will have stats and commercials (unfortunately), but better than next day streaming.

[@CPO-Snarky]

[@boisehingis2399]

as a canadian living overseas, more tsn+ nascar shenanigans is a good deal

[@every1can]

Great video. Can’t help but see this as a catastrophic error by nascar. There’s a reason why F1 maintains a huge and growing following with all practice, qualifying, and race days on one network. I will not be able to see many races this season after being a fan for 40 years.

[@Clayfus_Doofus]

F1TV is incredible also

[@dangleesak1026]

[@awe_hernell]

Never thought i'd say it would be easier as a fan in Sweden to watch Nascar compared to the US. We have one place that air all the races Viaplay (Watch me jinx it and be forced to buy a prime subscription)

[@milogunther5024]

Thank you Eric for explaining how us Canadians can watch this year. I cant wait to finally watch 5 days of NASCAR with practice, qualifying, and three races this Valentine's weekend

[@NutZachs]

Super disappointing that the CW races won't be streamed live in their app, especially with some stations potentially not showing the races in certain markets. I feel like it's a major L in today's landscape where so much can be watched on a TV, a phone, PC, gaming console etc.

[@jasonwalters7237]

Well the fans yelled and screamed "bring back the old days . . . it was better in the 80's and 90's" . . . well when it comes to the TV package they got what they wanted . . . gonna have to have a masters degree to keep up on where to watch like the 90's was

[@nathanbohannon-smith2913]

In the 90s you only had to buy 1 cable package

[@jdmatthew6517]

So, with all the different streaming subscriptions needed to watch the all of the NASCAR series it will effectively eliminate any chance I might have had to attend even a single race in person. Thank you NASCAR for your incredible greed and short sightedness. We, the lifelong fans really appreciate being cast aside.

This is a huge, exciting moment for the sport. FOX and NBC have been complacent in recent years, and now with new studios trying to one-up them, they will actually have to put effort into their broadcasts from now on.

[@coryroath604]

To be honest with you, I kind of think having the Xfinity series on its very own channel is gonna really help out that series. It’s already been growing quite a lot. I feel a lot more people watch the lower series than they used to especially over the last 10 years or so maybe? But having it on just its own channel really makes it feel like its legit own thing might even be goodto be perceived that way in the eyes of fans, it kind of brings it more of its own petp to its step and if you will

[@JonathanStrome]

Got it all under one roof here with TSN.

[@mattharmon6591]

In order to send a message to NASCAR about accessibility to watch when so many don’t have cable, we should flood the Xfinity broadcasts.

[@suprchickn7745]

NASCAR seems to best way to get people to watch races is to make it so complicated to schedule your viewing that you need a map and seven different streaming services. The greed among these media companies is why NASCAR doesn't have a one-stop app now (they should have started one years ago). These massive corporations would refuse to shell out the cash unless they had exclusive streaming rights.

[@lefturn99]

I'm more excited about the Xfinity series than the Cup series this year. They had better show every race on race day. I'm never had much interest in watching past races.

[@jfm-jfm1461]

Eric, I think you’re a great guy I will be looking to you and you only for my Nascar news this year. I refuse to watch the races. I am not going to chase these networks that show nothing but garbage commercials down your throat, but I wish you well and I will be watching you ! Also, in my opinion, Nascar has become nothing more than a dictatorship. You have to wonder how their rules are implemented. Just takes the fun out of it for me completely. I said three years ago that Nascar will be dead in five years. They’re well on their way half the races have no one in them or I should say many many empty seats, but the cameras only show you the full seats . It’s just not the same.

[@chrisguardiano6143]

Meanwhile if you watch Indycar and/or F1 in addition to NASCAR there are some changes as well. With Indycar, every race including the Indy 500 is on big Fox (replacing NBC) with Will Buxton, Townsend Bell & James Hinchcliffe making up the booth. Indycar qualifying/practice & every Indy NXT race will be on FS1/FS2. Then with F1, they are still on ESPN/ABC for one more season, though ABC will be airing more races this season with Miami, Monaco, Canada, COTA, Mexico, Brazil & Vegas all on ABC. There is also going to be an exclusive ESPN+ race which is likely going to be either the Austrian, British or Belgian GP. There is also a change in the F1 booth with Crofty working with a rotating set of color commentators due to Martin Brundle retiring at the end of last season.

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

Will the NASCAR application for computer devices provide all three series of races, with practices and qualifying, and how will commentators and cameras display the coverage?

[@TheBraydenBunch58]

I’m looking forward to TNT coming back, I think they’ll be pretty good.

[@chloe-stephlis6281]

Hopefully but remember their 2007-2014 broadcasts?

[@TopFitnessStrategies]

This is great, thank you! Can you also do a video on where to LISTEN to a race? Some of us aren't always in the house to watch the race, we're outside doing "stuff" and prefer to listen. The nascar app doesn't (at least I couldn't figure it out) stream the radio coverage of the race. I, personally, have a difficult time trying to figure out where to listen to races.

[@dougkennedy4906]

Check am radiostations that cover mrn network

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

It's listed on the NASCAR schedule page. The east coast of Virginia lost all radio broadcast of races about 5 years ago... And I fear it won't come back again 😭 They really need a I heart radio channel!

[@stevencyr1690]

This is no different during the 90s. Nascar was on CBS ABC ESPN TBS TNN and even UPN when that channel still existed.

[@davidbeard1115]

You forgot the 12 minute highlights video on KZbin.

[@AlexE5250]

To comment on a positive, I am excited for the in-season tournament. If it goes well, I hope next year they do it with some playoff points thrown in instead of just the $1M. Maybe give a playoff point to each of the final 4, another one for each of the final 2, and three more playoff points for the winner (5 total). Also I hope this improves the Brickyard 400 too, since that track deserves high quality racing that we haven't always seen

[@ANGELMADFIARGR2008]

What about international broadcast,I'm from mexico and I always have issues trying to find a Spanish broadcast for nascar cup,Xfinity and Trucks,and also I'm not an expert,but I dont think that the CW or NBC have some presence in mexico to begin with.............
