NASCAR: Key change to NBC broadcasts for 2022

With NBC Sports Network defunct, many of the remaining races on the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series schedule are set to be broadcast live on USA Network.

Following the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway two Sundays ago, Fox’s portion of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series broadcast schedule is officially done. NBC is set to take over for the remaining 20 races of the 36-race season, including the final 10 races of the regular season and then the four-round, 10-race playoffs.

But as usual, not all of the races will be broadcast live on NBC.

However, unlike in previous years, the races that are not shown on NBC will not be shown on NBC Sports Network, as NBC Sports Network ceased operations at the end of 2021.

Much of the sports programming from NBC Sports Network shifted over to USA Network, and that is set to be the case for NASCAR as well.

Seven of the 10 remaining regular season races and four of the 10 playoff races are set to be broadcast live on USA Network, with the others broadcast live on NBC.

IndyCar fans have already experienced a race on USA Network this season. After the first seven races were broadcast live on NBC, the final race on Belle Isle was broadcast live on USA Network two Sundays ago.

Following an off weekend last weekend, NBC is set to kick things off at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday, June 26, and USA Network is set for its first Cup Series race of the year at Road America on Sunday, July 3.

Here is a broadcast schedule for the remainder of the 2022 Cup Series season.
