DEAL CONFIRMED: Denny Hamlin and two leading NASCAR drivers are partnering to purchase the 23XI team for over $67 million, with the deal expected to be finalized by October 12, 2024.
Once NASCAR’s new media rights deal goes into effect ahead of the 2025 season, all Xfinity Series races are set to be shown live on The CW Network. NASCAR on The CW is the official branding set to be used throughout the duration of the seven-year contract, which extends through 2031.
The Xfinity Series schedule, like the Cup Series schedule, is currently split between Fox and NBC, with Fox’s portion consisting of races on both Fox and Fox Sports 1 and NBC’s portion consisting of races on both NBC and USA Network.
But ahead of the full switch to The CW Network next year, the final eight races of the 2024 season are set to be shown on the network, meaning that NBC’s run came to an end this past weekend at Watkins Glen International.

All eight of these races, starting with this Friday night’s regular season finale at Bristol Motor Speedway and including all seven playoff events, are still set to be produced by NBC Sports and feature their own production and on-air teams, including the announcers.
