What’s Happening?
In 2026, Prime Video is once again set to cover its own slate of exclusive NASCAR Cup Series race broadcasts. But, if you aren’t quite sure if a subscription is right for you, Prime Video still offers new users a way to catch all of its NASCAR action for free.
How Do I Watch if I am Already a Subscriber?
Existing Prime Video subscribers can stream races live from home or on the move across hundreds of compatible devices worldwide at no extra cost, since it’s not a separate subscription. Previous NASCAR on Prime races remain available for replay, along with pre-race and post-race coverage from those events.
Fans can stream through the website or use the Prime Video app on smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and connected televisions. In the United States, Prime memberships cost $14.99 per month or $139 per year.
However, Amazon also offers some discounted membership plans for qualifying individuals. Those memberships offer the same benefits as standard Prime plans.
The Free-Trial
Much like last year, Prime is giving new users a chance to jump into the action through a 30-day free trial offered by Amazon Prime.
Some fans have already pointed out that if you are a new user and start your free Prime trial on or after the 22nd, it will cover all five races that Prime will broadcast from the Coca-Cola 600, all the way up to the Anduril 250.
Existing members or anyone who has already used Prime Video services will still need to pay for a subscription, as they are no longer eligible for the trial.
Which NASCAR races are on Prime Video?
As was the case in 2025, five NASCAR Cup Series races will stream live on Prime Video. Cup Series practice and qualifying sessions will also air on the platform throughout the first half of the season through the Naval Base Coronado event on June 21.
Prime Video’s exclusive race coverage begins in May with one of NASCAR’s crown jewels, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. Additional races on the platform include Nashville Superspeedway on May 31, Michigan International Speedway on June 7, Pocono Raceway on June 14, and the first race weekend at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego on June 21.

Who Will Call NASCAR Races for Prime Video?
NASCAR on Prime’s broadcast team will feature five current or future Hall of Fame figures anchoring race coverage, including analysis, driver interviews, and breakdowns designed to pull viewers closer to the action on and off the track.
Adam Alexander will return as lead play-by-play alongside Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his former Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte.
Pit road coverage includes Trevor Bayne, along with reporters Kim Coon and Marty Snider, who provide race updates and team developments as events unfold in real time.
Trackside programming will also feature a rotating cast of NASCAR legends and Hall of Famers, joining host Danielle Trotta and analyst Corey LaJoie during each event.
The lineup includes Carl Edwards during the Coca-Cola 600, with additional features and remote appearances throughout the remaining four races, Mark Martin during the Cracker Barrel 400, Martin Truex Jr. during the FireKeepers Casino 400, Brad Keselowski during the Pocono race, and Jeff Gordon during the Anduril 250.
