How to watch NASCAR without cable
The last two races of NASCAR’s playoffs — this Sunday’s Xfinity 500 and next Sunday’s Season Finale 500 — will be broadcast on NBC. If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch both races with a live-TV service. The good news for race fans is that NBC is available on each streaming service. The catch is that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries NBC in your area.
If you live in an area with good reception, you can watch the races broadcast on NBC for free on over-the-air broadcast channels just by attaching an affordable (under $30) indoor antenna to nearly any TV.
