NBC will air nine Cup races in 2022, including the final six playoff races.

NASCAR announced start times and network info for the 2022 season on Tuesday.

NBC and USA Network will air Cup and Xfinity races in the second half of the season. Fox Sports and FS1 will air Cup and Xfinity races in the first half of the 2022 season.

Nineteen Cup races will air on Fox and NBC. This marks the first time since 2009 that more Cup races will air on broadcast than cable.

USA Network takes over for NBCSN, which will conclude programming Dec. 31. USA Network is in millions more homes than NBCSN and boasts a younger and more diverse audience. It is one of the most widely distributed cable networks.

NBC and USA Network will air 39 races (20 Cup and 19 Xfinity) in 2022. The NBC/USA portion of the season begins June 26 at Nashville Superspeedway. That race will begin at 5 p.m. ET on NBC.

NBC will air Cup races at Nashville (June 26), the Indianapolis road course (July 31), the regular-season finale at Daytona (Aug. 27), along with playoff races at Talladega (Oct. 2), Charlotte Roval (Oct. 9), Las Vegas (Oct. 16), Homestead-Miami (Oct. 23), Martinsville (Oct. 30) and the season finale at Phoenix (Nov. 6). USA will air 11 Cup races. 

The nine Cup races on NBC are one more than the network is airing this season.

“Our 2022 NASCAR schedule marks in increase in Cup Series races on NBC and the first season for USA Network as our cable home of NASCAR,” said Justin Byczek, SVP Programming and Rights Management, NBC Sports. “We’re thrilled to open our Cup Series schedule in Nashville and build momentum to the Championship with six straight Playoff races on NBC. USA Network will be a destination for NASCAR fans with more than 25 races – including 11 exclusive weekends for the Cup and Xfinity Series – as part of its 1,500-plus hours of sports programming in 2022.”
