The NASCAR Cup Series returns in early February to begin its 2025 season.
The season kicks off with The Clash exhibition race, which moves to Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, from its previous home at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. From there, it’s on to NASCAR’s most iconic race: the Daytona 500.
Daytona International Speedway will also host the regular season finale on Aug. 23, before the 10-race playoffs begin the following week at Darlington Raceway on Aug. 31 and conclude Nov. 2 with the Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway.
Prior to the playoffs, the Cup Series will have 26 regular season races as well as the NASCAR All-Star Race on May 18. The schedule features ovals of various sizes, road courses, an oval/road course hybrid and a street race in Chicago.
Media partnerships have expanded as well, with Amazon Prime Video and TNT joining Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC and USA Network as race broadcasters. Five races will be streamed exclusively on Prime, including NASCAR’s longest race, the Coca-Cola 600, on May 25.
