Ranking Every 2025 NASCAR Broadcast Channel

The 2025 NASCAR season brought a massive shift to how fans watch the sport. For the first time ever, six different partners shared broadcast duties across the top three series. Some rose to the occasion, others… not so much. From streaming newcomers to long-time veterans losing their spark, here’s how the networks stacked up.

• Which channel set a brand-new gold standard that could redefine NASCAR coverage for years to come?
• How did Fox go from being the sport’s gold-plated partner to a frustrating relic of its former self?
• Why did the CW surprise so many fans with its energy and effort, despite major accessibility issues?
• And which familiar networks just couldn’t keep up with the new pace of innovation?

Each network brought its own strengths and stumbles, but the gap between the top and bottom has never felt wider. Prime’s broadcasts looked like the future of the sport, while others, especially FS1, seemed stuck in the past. NASCAR’s TV landscape has never been this crowded, or this uneven—and next season’s coverage could either elevate the sport or splinter its audience even further.
