2018 Daytona 500 complete TV schedule

Need to know when and how to watch the Daytona 500 on TV? NASCAR fans can check out our complete 2018 Daytona 500 TV schedule for full details.

The 2018 Daytona 500 schedule officially kicks off today as NASCAR fans prepare for the start of a new season. But the run-up to the race lasts an entire week and runs across multiple channels, so what and where can you watch the Daytona 500? We’ve put together the full TV schedule to ensure you don’t miss any of the Monster Energy Sprint Cup Series action.

Kurt Busch was the 2017 Daytona 500 winner, and will return to Stewart-Haas Racing to see if he can defend his title at Daytona International Speedway.

But there will be plenty of action, both in the race and leading up to it as NASCAR revs up the engine during Daytona Speedweeks. This isn’t just one race; it’s the start of the entire 2018 season, and so while everyone on the grid wants to be the first person to hold the checkered flag, everyone at home wants to watch what happens.

And as such, FOX Sports is pulling out all the stops when it comes to TV coverage. Every single bit of the schedule is being televised on one of the FOX family of networks, from Sunday’s qualifying session to the race on Feb. 18.
