How to watch the FireKeepers Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race without cable
If your cable subscription doesn’t carry USA Network, or you already have cut the rope with the cable company, you can still watch the race today. Below are the platforms where you can watch the race now.
Sling TV: The most affordable way to stream NASCAR races
One of the most expensive ways to stream the race today is through a subscribe to Sling TV. To watch today’s races, you must subscribe to the Blue tier, which includes access to live feeds of local network affiliates (excluding CBS) and USA Network. To level your coverage and get access to ESPN and TNT, subscribe to the Orange + Blue tier plan (recommended).
Blue Tier is $45 per month. Sling’s Orange + Blue tier costs $60 per month, but the platform is currently offering 50% off the first month of any price tier, making the Orange + Blue tier $30 for the first month. (Some buyers saw an introductory offer for $25 from the first month of Sling TV, although your experience may vary.) Sports Extra is available ($15 per month) with 19 sports-centric channels, including Golf Channel, Big Ten Network, NFL RedZone, MLB Network and Tennis Channel.
The streamer has a new prepaid offering for the football season called the Sling TV Season Pass. You can get four months of the Orange + Blue tier, plus Extra Sports, for $219. That’s a savings of $81 off the regular price.
Note: Because Sling TV doesn’t carry CBS, you won’t be able to watch CBS broadcast programs like next year’s NFL games on CBS. To watch this game, plus PGA golf, UEFA Champions League and other live sports, we recommend that you add the Paramount + add-on to your bundle. (Note that Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)
