Daytona 500 live stream

If you have access to a cable or satellite subscription, you will be able to stream the Daytona 500 live via FOX Sports Go. This is the easiest option for viewers who do not have a dish or cable box setup with their televisions.

There are five other streaming options (Sling, Hulu + Live TV, YouTubeTV, fuboTV and AT&T Now) if you do not have a FOX Sports Go login, three of which (Hulu + Live TV, YouTubeTV and fuboTV) include free trial options. That means you could simply watch the race and then cancel your subscription without any payment.

What channel is the Daytona 500 on?

FOX’s broadcast will go back to a three-man booth after previously only featuring play-by-play announcer Mike Joy and analyst Jeff Gordon. Former Cup Series driver Clint Bowyer will join the team to fill the void left behind by Darrell Waltrip, who retired following the 2019 season.

In Canada, the race will be broadcast on TSN.

The Daytona 500 broadcast will begin at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 14, but the race itself may not start until closer to 3 p.m. ET. It will be held at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.
