Hey guys, I was trying to figure out what time NASCAR qualifying was on today and on which channel. So, I started my little investigation and here’s what I went through.
First, I whipped out my phone and fired up Google. I typed in “what time is nascar qualifying today on tv” to see what would pop up. I got a bunch of results, all talking about different races and times. It was kind of a mess, to be honest. Some said it was on the USA Network, others said it was on NBC Sports app, and some mentioned FS2. A lot mentioned SiriusXM and PRN for radio.

Trying to narrow it down
I started digging deeper. I looked at the info for a race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It said qualifying was at 4:20 p.m. CT and on the USA Network. Okay, that was something, but I needed to be sure that was the one for today. Then I checked one about Martinsville. That one said 1 p.m. CT, but only on the NBC Sports app. Hmm, getting more confusing.
A bunch of different channels
- USA Network kept popping up for a lot of races.
- NBC Sports app was mentioned, but it sounded like it needed a subscription.
- FS2 showed up for one of the Martinsville races.
- SiriusXM and PRN, MRN were there for the radio folks.
Then, I saw that the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race was going to be on NBC, but that didn’t seem to be the qualifying.
More digging for details
I looked at the details for a race at Phoenix. It said qualifying was at 4 p.m. CT and on the USA Network. Another mention of USA Network, but the times were all over the place. I found out that NASCAR could be watched live on FOX, FS1, and NBC, depending on what was going on.
Figuring out the day
All the results I was getting were for Saturday. I had to confirm that today was indeed Saturday to make sure I had the right day. Yep, checked the calendar, and today is Saturday. So, at least I knew I was looking at the right info.
Finally, the answer?
So, from what I gathered, it looked like most of the qualifying was happening on Saturdays, and today being Saturday, USA Network seemed to be the main channel, with times varying from 1 p.m. CT to 4:20 p.m. CT. I guess it depends on the specific race location.

In the end, I figured out that the qualifying time for today’s NASCAR is on USA Network, but the exact time depends on the track. If it’s Las Vegas, it’s 4:20 p.m. CT. If it’s somewhere else, I’d have to check the specific race details. Also, it looks like there are radio options on SiriusXM and PRN or MRN if you’re into that. And for streaming, there’s the NBC Sports app, but you need a subscription. Man, that was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I got there in the end!
