NASCAR President Steve Phelps has reassured fans that they will know exactly where to watch Cup Series races starting in 2025. In response to ongoing concerns and confusion over broadcast schedules and TV rights, Phelps emphasized that NASCAR is committed to making viewing access more predictable and easier for its fan base.
Over the past few years, NASCAR’s TV broadcast situation has evolved with multiple networks involved, creating some uncertainty for fans who struggled to keep track of where races would air. The league’s partnership with both Fox Sports and NBC Sports has resulted in split broadcasts, but Phelps says that moving forward, fans will have clear, consistent information about where to find races.
“We understand how important it is for our fans to know where they can watch every race,” Phelps said. “We are working to ensure that by 2025, the schedule and network coverage will be transparent and simple, so no one has to worry about missing a race.”
NASCAR’s new commitment comes as the sport negotiates future broadcast deals. The league’s current contracts with both Fox and NBC are set to expire after the 2024 season. With the growing popularity of streaming platforms and shifting media consumption habits, NASCAR is also exploring new ways to engage its audience across multiple viewing platforms.
The decision to clarify broadcasting plans is part of a larger effort to boost fan engagement and expand the sport’s reach. NASCAR hopes that providing a consistent viewing experience will enhance fan loyalty and attract a new generation of viewers.
As the sport continues to evolve, Phelps is confident that NASCAR’s revamped approach to media distribution will deliver a seamless and reliable way for fans to enjoy Cup Series action starting in 2025.
