Nascar On Fox is moving the final stretch of its opening 2026 run to FS1, with three straight races now set to air on the cable channel instead of Fox. The Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway will be on FS1 on Sunday, followed by next weekend’s road-course race at Watkins Glen International and the All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway the weekend after that.
The Texas race is a 267-lap trip around the four-turn, 1.5-mile oval in Fort Worth, Texas. FS1’s booth for the run remains Mike Joy, Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick, a trio that has been working through a schedule that began with four consecutive races on Fox, including the preseason Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium and the first three points races at Daytona International Speedway, EchoPark Speedway and Circuit of the Americas.
Fox’s 2026 NASCAR Cup Series coverage opened with that four-race burst before the next five races shifted to FS1. Fox then returned two weekends ago at Kansas Speedway and again one weekend ago at Talladega Superspeedway, leaving just three races on the network’s portion of the schedule — all of them now set for FS1. The Dover race will close Fox’s 14-race stint to begin the season.
That scheduling split is part of NASCAR’s $7.7 billion media rights agreement, which has already produced a calendar in which Amazon Prime Video and TNT Sports are each set to handle five races after Fox finishes, before NBC takes over for the final 14 races. NBC’s package includes the 10-race Chase postseason, though only four of NBC’s final 14 races are set to air on the broadcast network itself, with the other 10 on USA Network.
The handoff matters because it marks the first full year of a broadcast map that is now moving through its planned rotation. For viewers, the immediate question is simpler: after Dover, the season’s centerpiece stretch shifts away from Fox’s opening window and into the next phase of NASCAR’s new TV split.
