2025 is the first year of its seven year, $7.7 billion TV deal that has NASCAR Cup coverage split between, FOX Sports, NBC Sports, Prime Video, and Warner Bros. Discovery.
With the end of the in-season challenge on TNT Sports with an altcast on Trutv, NASCAR now returns to NBC for the final four races of the regular season and the ten-race playoffs.
Leigh Diffey will again serve as the lead commentator, joined in the booth by 21-time Cup Series race winnerJeff Burton, and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte . Dave Burns and Kim Coon will work as pit reporters.
USA Network will actually broadcast the majority of the remaining races, including the following events: Iowa, Watkins Glen, Richmond, Darlington, Gateway, Bristol, Loudon, Kansas, Charlotte Roval, and Las Vegas.
NBC’s primary channel will be reserved for the regular season finale at Daytona where the 16-driver playoff grid is officially set. NBC will also broadcast the final two races of the Round of 8 at Talladega and Martinsville, as well as the title-decider at Phoenix. The final three races of the year will also be simulcast on Peacock streaming services — but not Daytona.
In-car cameras will continue to be provided by HBO Max each weekend, while practice and qualifying can still be found on TruTV each weekend.
