NASCAR Schedule 2027: Daytona 500 on Feb. 21, All 39 Cup Dates and TV Windows

The 2027 NASCAR Cup Series runs from Saturday, Feb. 13, to Sunday, Nov. 14, with the 69th Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 21 on FOX, according to FOX Sports’ 2027 schedule tracker. The full schedule came out Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026, and holds 36 points races plus three non-points events, as reported by Racing News and Yahoo Sports. NASCAR is the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Its own site blocked automated access when this story was checked, so every 2027 detail here comes from those three outlets. Race start times have not been announced.

The table below puts each date with its weekday (computed from the calendar), the event, the track and the TV window: FOX, Prime Video, Turner Network Television (TNT) Sports, then USA Network and NBC. A one-page copy for the fridge is available as a printable list in the downloads box with this story. To plan around other dates, use the printable yearly calendar.

TV windows follow FOX Sports and Yahoo Sports: FOX has the first 14 events through the All-Star Race, Prime Video runs from the Coca-Cola 600 through Chicagoland, and TNT Sports covers Iowa through Naval Base Coronado. From August through November the races are on USA Network and NBC; Yahoo Sports lists that block as “USA Sports”. The sources give windows, not a network for each race, and do not say where the Duel at Daytona airs. Atlanta is listed at EchoPark Speedway, Naval Base Coronado is a San Diego street course, and World Wide Technology Raceway is in the St. Louis area.

When does the 2027 NASCAR season start?

The season opens with the Clash on Saturday, Feb. 13, a non-points event at Daytona. The Duel at Daytona, non-points qualifying races, follows on Thursday, Feb. 18. The Daytona 500 is Sunday, Feb. 21, six days later than the 2026 race, which was Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, also on FOX, according to Wikipedia’s 2026 season page. Atlanta and Circuit of the Americas in Austin follow on Feb. 28 and Mar. 7. For the month view of that stretch, see the February 2027 printable calendar.

What changed from the 2026 schedule?

FOX Sports’ tracker flags the moves, and Wikipedia’s 2026 season page gives last year’s dates.

Track or event	2026	2027
Clash	Feb. 4 at Bowman Gray Stadium	Feb. 13 at Daytona
Daytona 500	Sun., Feb. 15	Sun., Feb. 21
Watkins Glen	May 10	Sep. 19

Two track changes stand out. Dover, which hosted the 2026 All-Star Race, has a points race on May 16, 2027, per FOX Sports. North Wilkesboro had a points race on Jul. 19, 2026, and in 2027 it hosts only the All-Star Race, a non-points event.

When is the 2027 season finale?

Homestead-Miami closes the year on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2027, according to FOX Sports. Before it come Martinsville on Nov. 7, Talladega on Oct. 31 and Phoenix on Oct. 24. This story does not describe the playoff format for 2027, because the sources used here do not confirm it.
