How We Verify TV Listings

Accurate listings are the whole point of RacingOnTV.net. Here's exactly how we build and check them, so you know how much to trust a given entry.

Where our data comes from

We compile listings from primary sources wherever possible:

• Sanctioning bodies and series — official calendars from NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA, Formula 1, World of Outlaws, High Limit, USAC, WRC, MotoGP, NHRA and dozens more.
• Broadcasters and streamers — published TV schedules and "coverage begins" times from FOX Sports, NBC/Peacock, Apple, Prime Video, TNT, The CW, FloRacing, DIRTVision and others.
• Sanctioning-body press releases and official event pages for one-off and crown-jewel events.

When two sources conflict, we defer to the broadcaster for channel and coverage time and to the series for event date and format, and we re-check as the event approaches.

Start times & time zones

We store every start time in US Eastern Time and convert it to your local time zone automatically in your browser, so you never have to do the math. Where a broadcaster lists a "coverage begins" time that differs from the green flag, we use the coverage time, because that's when you need to be watching.

"TBD" times

If you see TBD instead of a start time, it means the exact broadcast time has not yet been published by the broadcaster — which is normal for events more than a week or two out, and especially for international rounds that air at odd US hours. We deliberately show TBD rather than invent a time, and we fill it in as soon as an official time is confirmed (usually one to two weeks ahead).

Watch links

Each listing's "watch" link points to the network or streaming service carrying that race. Wherever a platform exposes a stable per-event link, we link straight to the specific event page; otherwise we link to the service's live/schedule page. Deep links to some services only become available close to the event.

Event history & facts

On our per-event "How to Watch" pages we include background — race history, past winners, distances, records. This information is researched and verified against real sources, or left out entirely. We do not fabricate history, winners or statistics; a blank section means we could not confirm the fact, not that we forgot it. This standard is set out in our Editorial Policy.

Found an error?

Schedules move, and occasionally we get one wrong. If a time, channel or date looks off, please tell us at syntraxstudios@proton.me or through our Submit an Event page. We review corrections quickly and update the Site as soon as we've confirmed the fix.
