NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Xfinity Series Announce 2026 Schedules with New Sponsorship Titles

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has released the official schedules for its 2026 racing seasons, detailing dates, times, television channels, and live streaming options for fans. The announcements confirm significant branding changes for two of the series' premier divisions: the Craftsman Truck Series and the Xfinity Series.

For the 2026 season, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will continue its partnership with Craftsman, a brand known for tools and equipment. The Sporting News has compiled comprehensive details regarding when and where viewers can watch every race in the Truck Series throughout the entire season. This includes specific start times for each event, the television networks broadcasting the races, and information on how to access live streams online. The schedule outlines the full calendar of events, providing a complete guide for fans planning to follow the series from the first race to the final championship showdown.

In addition to the Truck Series updates, NASCAR has also revealed the schedule for the Xfinity Series, which will operate under a new sponsorship title for 2026. The series, formerly known as the NASCAR Xfinity Series, is now officially named the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series. Despite the change in naming rights, NASCAR states that the competition will maintain its existing format and intensity. The Sporting News reports that the former Xfinity Series promises to bring the same level of excitement and racing action to fans in 2026 as it has in previous years. The publication provides all necessary details for audiences to tune in to every race of the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, including broadcast information and streaming access.

The release of these schedules marks a key step in NASCAR's preparation for the upcoming racing year. By providing comprehensive guides on viewing options, the organization aims to ensure that fans can easily follow their favorite drivers and teams across both the Truck and O'Reilly Auto Parts Series. The Sporting News serves as a central resource for these details, aggregating the official dates, times, and media partners into a single accessible format for each series.

Fans of stock car racing can now plan their viewing schedules for 2026 based on the confirmed information from NASCAR and The Sporting News. The continuity of the Craftsman Truck Series sponsorship provides stability for that division, while the introduction of O'Reilly Auto Parts as the title sponsor for the second-tier series represents a new chapter in its history. Both series will operate under their respective new or continued branding agreements, with full broadcast and streaming logistics detailed in the official schedules released by The Sporting News.
