The Best Racing Streaming Services in 2026
Motorsport is more watchable than ever in 2026 — but it's also scattered across more services than ever. There is no single subscription that covers everything, so the real question is: which services do you actually need for the racing you follow? Here's an honest breakdown of every major option, what it carries, and what it costs.
The short version
Your racing determines your subscriptions. Follow F1? You need Apple TV. Follow dirt sprint cars? You likely need FloRacing and DIRTVision. Follow NASCAR? You need a patchwork. Below is each service, ranked by how much of the US motorsport calendar it unlocks.
Apple TV — the F1 service
Price: $12.99/mo or $99/yr (7-day free trial). Best for: Formula 1 fans.
Apple became F1's exclusive US home in 2026. Every practice, qualifying, Sprint and Grand Prix is here — plus F1 TV Premium features (onboard cameras, timing, Multiview) bundled in, and F2/F3/F1 Academy via the F1 TV app. Some practices and select races are even free with no login. If you follow F1, this is non-negotiable. If you don't, you can skip it entirely. Full F1 viewing guide →
FloRacing — the grassroots/dirt powerhouse
Price: about $14.99/mo billed annually (~$180/yr); higher month-to-month. Best for: dirt late models, High Limit, USAC, asphalt short track.
FloRacing carries an enormous slate: High Limit Racing, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, USAC, the All Star Circuit of Champions, MARS, Xtreme Outlaw, and a deep well of asphalt roots racing. For the serious short-track fan it's one of the two essential dirt subscriptions. See everything on FloRacing →
DIRTVision — the World of Outlaws home
Price: free audio tier; $39.99/mo or $299.99/yr (Platinum). Best for: World of Outlaws and Super DIRTcar fans.
DIRTVision is the exclusive live-video home of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car and Late Model Series and the Super DIRTcar big-block modifieds. The crown jewels — the Knoxville Nationals and 360 Nationals — require the annual Platinum plan. Note the free tier gives you live audio only. See everything on DIRTVision →
Peacock — sports cars and part of NASCAR
Price: about $10.99/mo. Best for: IMSA sports car racing, plus the NBC-window NASCAR races.
Peacock is the streaming home for IMSA WeatherTech sports car racing (including full-length endurance races) and simulcasts NASCAR's NBC/USA Cup races in the back half of the season. Good value if you follow sports cars.
Amazon Prime Video — five NASCAR races you can't get elsewhere
Price: included with Prime (~$8.99/mo for Prime Video alone). Best for: not missing NASCAR's streaming-exclusive window.
For five Cup races in late May and June — including the Coca-Cola 600 — Prime Video is the only place to watch. They aren't simulcast anywhere. If you follow NASCAR, this is a required piece of the puzzle for that window.
HBO Max — the NASCAR TNT window
Price: about $18.49/mo (ad-free, with B/R Sports included). Best for: the five TNT-window NASCAR races and In-Season Challenge.
HBO Max simulcasts the TNT Sports NASCAR races (late June–July). Live sports require an ad-free plan, not the cheapest tier.
A live-TV service — the cable replacement
Price: YouTube TV ~$73/mo, Fubo ~$80/mo, DirecTV Stream ~$80/mo. Best for: anyone who wants FOX, FS1, NBC, USA, The CW, TNT and CBS Sports Network in one place.
A live-TV streaming bundle is the single most efficient way to catch broadcast-and-cable racing: NASCAR's FOX/FS1 and NBC/USA windows, IndyCar and MotoGP on FOX/FS1, NHRA on FS1/FOX, the O'Reilly Series on The CW, and dirt features on FS1/CBS Sports Network. It won't cover the streaming-exclusives (Apple's F1, Prime's NASCAR, the dirt subscriptions), but it handles the TV side in one bill.
The free options worth knowing
- An antenna — free FOX, NBC and CW network races (IndyCar, NASCAR network rounds, the entire O'Reilly Series).
- SPEED SPORT 1 — a genuinely free 24/7 motorsports channel (STIRR, Prime Video, Fubo) with Hunt the Front dirt racing and more.
- FloRacing's free FAST channel — select programming free on YouTube, Prime Video and Fubo.
- Apple TV free F1 — all practice sessions and select races, no subscription.
