How to Watch the 2023 Daytona 500 Without Cable

Stream the 65th running of The Great American Race on FOX with Sling Blue in select markets.

NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season is kicking off just as it has done for decades - a trip to Daytona Beach, Florida in mid-February.
The Daytona 500 is the biggest NASCAR event of the year - no other race has higher ratings, attendance, and prize money awarded, and the winner will carry the eternal moniker of “Daytona 500 Champion” for the rest of their life. It’s a must-watch even if you’re not a racing fan.

Rest assured: if you’ve cut the cord and left cable behind, you can still stream the sports you love, including NASCAR and the Daytona 500. If you live in the following markets, you can watch NASCAR Cup Series racing on FOX with Sling Blue for only $40 a month, by far the best value out there: Atlanta, Austin/Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York City, Oakland/San Jose, Orlando/Gainesville/Tampa, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle/Tacoma, or Washington, D.C.
