How to Watch NASCAR Xfinity Series Races Online Without Cable

By

As I follow the NASCAR Cup Series racing on Sundays, I also enjoy watching the NASCAR Xfinity Series which typically runs its races on Saturdays.

In a hurry? Xfinity Series races are in a few different places. If you want to watch all the races, you need FS1, USA, NBC, and Fox, which you can get from a couple of live TV streaming services:

  • Fubo: The best streaming service for international sports also provides 150+ well-selected channels. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
  • DIRECTV STREAM: Get a great channel lineup with the best selection of RSNs in the industry. A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV STREAM.
  • Sling TV: This low-cost service allows you to select just the channel lineup you want. Save 50% on Sling TV now.

If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.

However, first you need a VPN to unblock US streaming services from . Our favourite is ExpressVPN. It’s definitely not the cheapest option at $4.99/month, but it just works – and across all your devices.

This Week’s Races

Xfinity Series

The Xfinity Series, along with the Truck Series, acts as a kind of minor league for NASCAR with the Cup Series races acting as The Majors. But if the Xfinity Series is the minor leagues, they are AAA. They are considered the top level of NASCAR racing below Cup Series races.

Most NASCAR race weekends take place in this order:

  • Friday: Truck Series
  • Saturday: Xfinity Series
  • Sunday: Cup Series

The top Xfinity Series drivers normally move up to the Cup Series. And some Cup Series drivers move down to the Xfinity Series. This is also like minor league baseball but also like promotion and relegation in soccer.

For example, current NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano was still racing in the Xfinity Series as recently as 2019.

None of this should be taken to mean that Xfinity Series races aren’t worth watching. It’s often more exciting to watch Xfinity and ARCA races than Cup Series races. In fact, many fans prefer the lower tiers of racing where there is less money and technology and the action is more immediate and raw.

The series began in 1950 as a short-track race for NASCAR. The cars were allowed to have minor modifications (just not as much as the Modified Series cars).
