As NASCAR begins the first year of a new broadcast era, FOX will be covering the 2025 Daytona 500. Similar to past seasons, the majority of the coverage is split between FOX and NBC, with each network airing 14 events. While NBC broadcasts the season’s last stretch, which includes the NASCAR Playoffs and Championship race, FOX’s portion of the schedule starts the year.
Two new broadcast partners have joined NASCAR this season, and they will share the middle section of the schedule. Both Prime Video and TNT Sports have acquired the rights to practice and qualifying sessions, and they will divide the 10 races in the middle of the season equally.
