NASCAR broadcasting will enter a new era when the Coca-Cola 600 will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime on Sunday, May 25. Find out how you can watch NASCAR races on Amazon Prime and how you can watch them for free.
How To Watch NASCAR 2025 Cup Series for Free With Amazon Prime
In 2025, NASCAR fans can catch five Cup Series races live on Prime Video, plus full coverage of practice and qualifying through June 22. However, the Clash at Bowman Gray, the Daytona 500, and the All-Star Race were not part of the Amazon Prime streaming package.
Fans can stream NASCAR this summer with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, offering full access to Prime Video’s racing coverage.
You will need a valid credit card to sign up for an Amazon Prime free trial. Prepaid cards, checking accounts, and Amazon Corporate Lines of Credit aren’t eligible. Signing up for Amazon Prime will give you free trial access to Amazon Prime Video, alongside other perks.
You can also go to the NASCAR section on Prime Video and select “Join Prime.” Enter the required details to confirm your membership and billing information. After that, just go to Prime Video to watch all five Cup Series races, plus live practice and qualifying at their scheduled times.

How Amazon Prime Will Change NASCAR Coverage
NASCAR made a game-changing decision in early 2024. After decades on cable and broadcast TV, the sport made the jump to streaming with a new partner: Amazon Prime Video.

As part of NASCAR’s $7.7 billion media rights deal, Amazon will stream five summer races, starting in 2025.
Could NASCAR really work off cable? Would a streaming giant like Amazon truly grasp the soul of the sport? The streaming giant responded with a resounding yes, bringing in celebrated figures like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and pledging innovation across every screen.
With tools from every corner of its empire, Amazon is reshaping the NASCAR experience, offering tech-driven broadcasts and even in-race shopping.
History will be made as a NASCAR Cup Series race streams exclusively on Prime Video, without a traditional TV broadcast.
With NBC Sports handling backend production, Prime is steering the broadcast. Amazon is also revolutionizing ads by ditching full-screen commercials during green-flag racing in favor of a consistent double-box format. This new ad format lets fans watch the race action in real time, even during commercials. It’s a significant improvement that eliminates the frustration of missing key moments due to full-screen ads. Full-screen ads will only appear during yellow or red flags, never during green-flag racing.
Prime is also debuting ‘Key Moments’ and ‘Rapid Recap,’ with ‘Key Moments’ allowing fans to rewind and catch major highlights instantly.
‘Rapid Recap’ is perfect for those tuning in late, providing a quick two-minute rundown of everything that’s happened before jumping straight into the live race. Combined, these tools change the way we catch up and stay connected to the action.
