How to Live Stream NASCAR Cup Races in 2025
What’s Happening? The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season will see major changes to the sport’s list of broadcast partners. This includes…
With all the shake-ups to NASCAR’s TV schedule in 2025, some fans may feel like they are outside looking in. This year, the NASCAR Cup Series will have fewer Network TV races and more Cable and Streaming races. However, NASCAR has a backup for those who cannot watch the race.
Throughout the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series seasons, four Radio Networks will cover the flag-to-flag action.
The first and most well-known is NASCAR-owned MRN, or the Motor Racing Network, which covers all tracks owned and leased by NASCAR.
The second is PRN, or the Performance Racing Network, which covers all tracks owned and leased by Speedway Motorsports. SMI, as it is better known, owns and leases 11 tracks on the 36-race NASCAR schedule.
The third is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network, which does one Cup Series race, the Brickyard 400, and one Xfinity race, the Pennzoil 250. They have a live stream on their website with their radio broadcasts.
The final network is the NASCAR Radio Network, which is a new combination of MRN and PRN talent for 2025. NRN will broadcast NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races at all tracks owned or leased by NASCAR and SMI this season.
All four will have occasional practice and qualifying coverage as well. We suggest checking the NASCAR weekend schedule for broadcast information on practice and qualifying. These four also cover the airways of SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on Channel 90 during the race for those with a satellite radio subscription.
MRN offers several options for those wanting to listen to radio broadcasts of NASCAR races.
The NASCAR App, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, broadcasts MRN free under the scanners section during a race weekend. However, if you have trouble with the app, the MRN website has a live radio feed that will appear on its homepage on race day.
For traditional radio audiences, MRN also supplies a Radio Partners page on their website; this allows you to narrow down what station to tune into by first asking you what series you are looking for and what state you live in.
PRN also offers several similar options for those wanting to listen to radio broadcasts of NASCAR races.
The NASCAR App, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, broadcasts PRN free under the scanners section during a race weekend. However, if you have trouble with the app, the PRN website has a live radio feed on its homepage under the “Shows” tab.
PRN also has a standalone app with a built-in live stream. The app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
For traditional radio audiences, PRN, like MRN, supplies a Radio Partners page on its website. Unlike the MRN website, PRN only asks users what series or show they are looking for and then supplies a full list of affiliates who carry that programming.
Once again, the two main broadcasters are divided by track. This can get confusing; however, both supply a list of race broadcasts for their listeners.
For ease, we will also supply a list of races divided by the station on which they broadcast. Please note that all NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Races are broadcast on the new NRN; this list will feature only the Cup and Xfinity Series races.

Joe Gibbs Racing has added to its lawsuit filed against former Crew Chief and Competition Director Chris Gabehart, filing to add Spire as a co-defendant, and to prevent Gabehart from continuing his work at Spire.
JGR initiated this lawsuit on February 19, alleging Gabehart, a long-time Crew Chief, most recently for Denny Hamlin, and the team’s now former Competition Director, “embarked on a brazen scheme to steal JGR’s most sensitive information and use it for the benefit of a direct competitor in NASCAR.”
That direct competitor, Spire Motorsports, which currently employs Gabehart as their Chief Motorsports Officer, is now a co-defendant in this lawsuit, via an amended complaint filed Tuesday.
Per the latest filing from JGR, which employed Gabehart as Competition Director last season, is asking the court for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction with seven key requests.
Key to these requests is that Gabehardt cease providing Spire with “services for Spire similar to those he provided to JGR” for 18 months following his February 9 formal termination from JGR.
JGR also requested that Spire stop accepting Gabehart’s work as per the noncompete obligation of his termination.
The filing also has several requests regarding the team information Gabehart allegedly retained from JGR.
These include Gabehart returning this information alongside the devices that store this information and “cease and desist from retaining, transferring, using or copying any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.”
From JGR’s filing:
c. Gabehart immediately cease and desist from retaining, transferring, using or copying any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets
d. Gabehart return any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in his possession to JGR;
e. Gabehart transfer to the custody of JGR’s counsel any device used to store the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and, through an agreed upon Court ordered process, allow the forensic preservation and review of these devices for identification of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, the return of any identified Confidential Information and Trade Secrets to JGR, and the removal of any identified Confidential Information and Trade Secrets from the devices;
f. Gabehart cease and desist from using or disclosing JGR’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets to third parties;
As of press time, Gabehart has commented on the lawsuit in a post to X on February 20, where he claimed a third-party investigator “examined my laptop, cell phone and personal Google Drive and found no evidence to support the baseless allegations in JGR’s lawsuit.”

The NASCAR rumor mill is heating up as a new rumor suggests that a former series champion and an active NASCAR Cup Series driver could be in line to drive for Legacy Motor Club in 2027.
What’s Happening? NASCAR drivers, much like any athletes, have a period of free agency and multi-million dollar contracts. Based on information…
The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season is well underway, while teams and drivers are still settling into their new lineups and seats, others are already prepping for next season.
Most expect the 2027 NASCAR Silly Season to be one of the wildest in years, with many major names on contract seasons, and top seats looking for new drivers.
One story that will likely carry through the 2026 season, and into the offseason, is Legacy Motor Club, which is expanding to three full-time cars in 2027 via the acquisition of a charter from Rick Ware Racing, which is currently leased to RFK Racing for their No. 60 entry.
While many storylines could stem from this transaction, one that is already playing out is LMC’s driver search, as the team looks to add a new face to their roster alongside drivers John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones.
Though we are nearly a year away from what would be the first race for this third car, per recent rumors, a few names are already emerging as top candidates.
What’s Happening? NASCAR Hall of Famer and Seven-Time Champion Jimmie Johnson’s Legacy Motor Club is suing Rick Ware Racing over a…
Monday afternoon, a post from a well-known NASCAR rumor account made the rounds on social media, naming two drivers as possible options for LMC.
In their post, the user claimed that 23XI Racing’s Riley Herbst and Richard Childress Racing prospect Jesse Love were “early contenders” for the ride.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and even if they are possible candidates, things can change. However, both of these options come with their own storylines and questions.
The first thing that likely comes to mind when hearing this rumor is that both of these drivers would have to depart their current spots, something that most have suspected will happen by next season.
For Herbst, he is facing the impending promotion of top NASCAR prospect Corey Heim to full-time competition.
This year, Heim, the reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion, is racing part-time with 23XI Racing, with almost every rumor and blurb suggesting next year will be his first full-time season in NASCAR’s highest level.
While 2026 Daytona 500 Champion Tyler Reddick is reportedly on a contract season, most see Herbst as the clear weak link at 23XI, though, in the somewhat unlikely event Reddick were to jump ship, there could be a world where a spot opens for Heim without affecting Herbst.
Regarding Love, the reigning NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion is in his third full-time year with RCR in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and, for some time now, has been rumored to be looking for a promotion, beyond his part-time Cup Series schedule.
This is not the first time Love and LMC have been tied together in the rumor mill, as in June 2025, when LMC was in the midst of a lawsuit to get their third charter by this season (something that never came to be), a report from Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports suggested there could be interest in Love as that third driver at LMC.
As of right now, Love has yet to score a full-time Cup Series ride. But there is a chance a slot opens in-house as RCR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch is on a contract year, a situation that could leave Love with a difficult decision between staying in a familiar spot or returning ot the Toyota camp.
But the biggest decision could come down to RCR, which, in the event Busch excels this year, could face deciding between a NASCAR legend and keeping their best prospect in some time.
Nonetheless, all of this is hypothetical, as the gears are just now turning on what could be a NASCAR Cup Series Silly Season for the ages.
What’s Happening? Some recent developments in NASCAR Silly Season rumors and reports have some NASCAR fans wondering if Spire Motorsports could…
