NASCAR will be broadcast in Mexico starting February 1, 2026, via FOX One, the streaming service from Fox Corporation that requires a paid subscription. The coverage includes NASCAR's three national series along with the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
The NASCAR Cup Series season begins with the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium and features its most important race three weeks later with the Daytona 500, scheduled for February 15 at Daytona International Speedway. The season concludes on November 8 with the championship race at Phoenix Raceway, completing the 36-race Cup Series calendar.

How to Watch FOX One in Mexico
FOX One requires a paid subscription and is available in Mexico through four different options, starting with Prime Video, where it is contracted as an extra channel within Amazon's platform, allowing subscribers to watch it directly in the app or website without needing to install extra applications. Claro Video offers the service as an independent monthly subscription that users can sign up for directly from the platform.
The third option works via compatible Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and Smart TV devices, accessed through the app or linked channels on these devices. Fox Corporation also offers a standalone downloadable app for iOS, Android, and Smart TV that allows users to subscribe directly without needing other platforms, handling the entire process from the FOX One app itself.
Fox Corporation launched FOX One in the United States in August 2025 before expanding to Mexico in October of the same year, marking the company's first direct operation in the Mexican market since Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019.

Situation of NASCAR in the Rest of Latin America
FOX One currently operates in Mexico and the United States, with no official information about its availability in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, and other Latin American countries for the 2026 season.
NASCAR has not announced which network or platform will broadcast the series in these countries. The press release distributed by FOX mentions "FOX Latin America" as responsible for the coverage but does not specify if FOX One will expand to other markets or what options Latin American fans will have to watch the NASCAR Cup Series, O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, and Craftsman Truck Series during 2026.
Lapeando will update this information when NASCAR or Fox Corporation officially confirms coverage for other countries in the region.
Why NASCAR is No Longer on Fox Sports 3
Grupo Lauman operated Fox Sports 3 from 2021 until it lost most of its sports properties during 2025, keeping NASCAR on the channel until September when the series disappeared from the programming for an entire weekend. NASCAR issued a statement about contractual problems with Grupo Lauman and offered that race for free on YouTube before returning to the channel to close the season, but the series confirmed it would not renew for 2026.
The collapse of Fox Sports 3 began to become visible in May 2025 when the channel did not broadcast F1 practices in Miami or the Netherlands before completely losing the series during the final races of the season. MLB left the programming in August, followed by the NFL, the Premier League, the WEC, and the WRC, while Liga MX teams like Monterrey suspended their broadcasts due to non-payment in a pattern that repeated with Pachuca and León.
The legal situation of Grupo Lauman became complicated in courts in two countries, with Fox Corporation suing the company in California for $52 million related to breaches in contracts for León and Pachuca, and Concacaf claiming another $31 million for Concachampions rights. Courts in Mexico City and New York have ordered Grupo Lauman to stop using the Fox Sports name, although the company's license to operate under that name does not expire until November 2026.

Fox Sports 3 and FOX One are Completely Different Operations
Fox Sports 3 was operated by Grupo Lauman, a Mexican company that purchased the operation of Fox Sports Mexico in 2021 when the Federal Institute of Telecommunications forced Disney to sell it due to competition concerns related to its control of ESPN in the market. Grupo Lauman operated the Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2, and Fox Sports 3 channels under a temporary license for the name, paying Fox Corporation for its use without the American company having any involvement in the operation beyond charging for the use of its branding.
FOX One is something completely different because Fox Corporation operates the platform directly, controlling the programming, subscriptions, and the entire operation without intermediaries or Mexican companies in between.
