How to watch NASCAR at Chicagoland: Weekend schedule, start time, TV

NASCAR is racing at Chcagoland Speedway for the first time in seven years, as it replaces the Chicago Street Course on the 2026 schedule. TNT Sports is broadcasting the event, with all races simultaneously streamed on HBO Max along with live on-board cameras.

Shane van Gisbergen just won the final road course race on the schedule at Sonoma Raceway, further complicating the battle around the cut-line to make the Chase. At the very top of the standings, the points lead changed hands for the first time this year, with Denny Hamlin moving a single point ahead of Tyler Reddick.

Sonoma was also Round 1 of the In-Season Challenge, with No. 1 seed Reddick eliminated. You can find out who else was eliminated and what the Chicagoland matchups will be HERE.

In this story, you can find all the information you need to watch this weekend's action at Chicagoland, from the weekend schedule to where to watch, and even the full entry list.
