The cheapest way to watch NASCAR Cup Series
The rights split, the minimum set of services, and the real monthly math, with free options where they exist.
The short answer: The rights are split four ways, so no single service has every race. The cheapest full set is Sling Blue + Prime Video + Peacock at $73.97 a month, or $60.98 with an antenna for the NBC races.

Cheapest watch questions
FAQWhy is NASCAR on so many services?
The current TV deal splits the season between FOX Sports, Amazon, Warner Bros. Discovery (TNT) and NBC Sports. Each partner bought a window of the season, so full coverage takes a combination.
Can I watch every Cup race with YouTube TV?
Almost. YouTube TV carries every TV window, but the five Prime Video races are streaming exclusives, so you need Prime for those.
What is the absolute cheapest way to watch NASCAR Cup?
An antenna for the FOX and NBC races (free), Sling Blue for FS1, TNT, truTV and USA, and Prime for its five races: $60.98 a month while the season runs. Without an antenna, swap Peacock in for the NBC races at $73.97 a month.
