The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series is off to the races. With big changes to the schedule, here’s everything you need to know to watch the most NASCAR racing with Sling.

It’s time to “start your engines” as a new era begins for NASCAR.

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season gets underway with a preseason race – the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium – on Sunday, Feb. 2, followed by the official start to the season, the 67th running of the Daytona 500, on Sunday, Feb. 16 on FOX. Although the Daytona 500 is fueled by tradition, a lot of NASCAR’s 77th season will have that new car smell. From a pair of new broadcasting partners to the debut of NASCAR’s in-season tournament, here’s a preview of the 2025 season.

Where past NASCAR seasons have been split up between FOX Sports and NBC Sports, the 2025 season features two new broadcasting partners. FOX and FS1 get the season revved up with the first 12 races, but following the All-Star Race on FS1 on May 18, Amazon Prime Video takes the wheel for five races beginning with the Coco-Cola 600 on May 25. Beginning with the Quaker State 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 28, TNT takes its turn around the track for five races, before coverage shifts to NBC and USA Network for the final 14 races of the season, including the Playoffs beginning on Aug. 31.

What is the Format of the New NASCAR In-Season Tournament?

https://youtu.be/bSjDZdaTKGA?si=vupUhvD20Bu3EZQZ

Similar to the NBA’s recent launch of the NBA Cup, NASCAR is the latest sport to in on the in-season tournament, which they describe as “reminiscent of the NCAA’s March Madness — but for stock car racing.”

Per NASCAR, here’s how it will work:

The tournament will consist of five races, beginning on June 28, 2025, with a Saturday night race at unpredictable Atlanta Motor Speedway. Following Atlanta, the tournament will move to the Chicago Street Course on July 6, then to Sonoma Raceway on July 13, Dover Motor Speedway on July 20 and conclude at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the annual Brickyard 400 on July 27. The tournament winner will receive a $1 million prize.

Seeding will be based on the best finish of the final three races included in Amazon’s coverage, and during tournament races, “drivers will compete head-to-head, with the highest-finishing driver in each matchup advancing to the next round. The field will be narrowed down from 32 drivers in the opening race to 16 in the second, eight in the third, four in the fourth, and finally, two drivers battling for the tournament win in the fifth and final race.”
