What channel is NASCAR on today? TV schedule, start time for New Hampshire race

By | July 17, 2021

For anyone who’s asking, “What channel is the NASCAR race on today?” the answer should look familiar.

The channel for Sunday’s Cup Series race, the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, is NBCSN. The NBC family of networks is airing the remaining Cup Series races in 2021, and NBCSN is showing Sunday’s race.

Sunday’s race will be on a one of the regular networks, but the broadcast will be different than the usual presentation.

Below is all you need to know about the schedule for Sunday’s race at New Hampshire, including the TV coverage and start time.

What channel is NASCAR on today?

  • TV channel: NBCSN (TSN in Canada)
  • Live stream: NBCSports.com | fuboTV (7-day free trial)
  • Radio: PRN

NBCSN’s programming will begin at 2:30 p.m. with the “Countdown to Green” prerace show, followed by race coverage beginning at 3 p.m. ET.

Sunday’s broadcast will be different than the usual presentation. Play-by-play announcer Rick Allen will not be in the booth, which will leave the network’s “Racing team,” led by analysts Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte, to call and analyze the race. NBCSN did something similar for the 2018 New Hampshire race; Earnhardt, Burton and Letarte collaborated on an “all-analyst” broadcast. 

Marty Snider and Dillon Welch will be the pit reporters Sunday.
