Nascar Cup Series Championship Race live stream 2024 — how to watch Phoenix Raceway season finale
Penske's Ryan Blaney is back to defend his crown
The 2024 Nascar Cup Series Championship Race live stream comes from Phoenix Raceway, where championship four Tyler Reddick (23XI), William Byron (Hendrick), Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney (both Penske) will jostle for the crown in the season finale — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
The Nascar Cup Series Championship Race live stream takes place on Sunday, November 10.
► Time: 3:31 p.m. ET / 12:31 p.m. PT / 8:31 p.m. GMT / 7:31 a.m. AEDT (Mon)
• U.S. — Watch on NBC via Sling TV or Fubo / Peacock
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
NBC will broadcast the race starting with Countdown to Green from 2 p.m.; the command to start engines will be given at 3:21 p.m.; the green flag is scheduled to wave at 3:31 p.m. (times ET).
A full field of drivers will be out in force in Avondale, Arizona, which means the Nascar champion might not necessarily be the race winner. It's only happened once since the current format was introduced — last year, when Blaney was pipped to the post by Ross Chastain.
He secured the Bill France Cup by virtue of being the first of the championship four drivers to cross the line, though if he's to defend his title this Sunday he'll want to do so in a blaze of glory.
While Blaney and his teammate Logano have left Phoenix Raceway as champions before, this is new ground for Byron, who controversially made the cut on points, and regular season ace Reddick. Read on to find out how to watch 2024 Nascar Cup Series Championship Race live streams where you are.
