What channel is NASCAR on today? TV schedule, start time, live stream for 2026 Phoenix race
Sunday, 8 March 2026
NASCAR Cup Series drama continues this weekend as drivers arrive in the desert for the Straight Talk Wireless 500 in Phoenix.
Tyler Reddick heads into this race after just making history. With his win at Circuit of the Americas last week, Reddick became the first driver in NASCAR history to win the first three Cup Series races in a season. Even with a 70-point lead in the standings, he might not be the one to watch Sunday.
Last year in Phoenix, Christopher Bell edged Denny Hamlin in a two-lap shootout to win the Shriners Children's 500. Fans should also look out for drivers like Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and Joey Logano this weekend, as all have won on this track before.
Who will take the checkered flag on Sunday?
