How to watch the FireKeepers Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race without cable
If your cable subscription does not support USA Network or you cut the cord with your cable provider you can still watch today’s race. Below you will find the platforms where you can watch today’s race live.
Sling TV: The most affordable way to stream NASCAR races
One of the most cost-effective ways to stream today’s race is via a Sling TV subscription. To watch today’s race, you’ll need a Blue-tier subscription, which includes access to your local network affiliate’s live feed (excluding CBS) and USA Network. To enhance your coverage and gain access to ESPN and TNT, subscribe to the Orange + Blue tier subscription (recommended).
The Blue tier costs $45 per month. Sling’s Orange + Blue tier costs $60 per month, but the platform is currently offering 50% off the first month of each pricing tier, making the Orange + Blue tier $30 for the first month. (Some shoppers are seeing an introductory offer of $25 off the first month of Sling TV, but your experience may be different.) A Sports Extra add-on 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 is offering a new prepaid deal for football season called the Sling TV Season Pass. You can get four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra add-on for $219. That’s a savings of $81 off the usual price.
Note: Since Sling TV does not carry CBS, you will not be able to watch programs broadcast by CBS, such as next year’s NFL games on CBS. To watch these games, as well as PGA golf, UEFA Champions League, and more live sports, we recommend adding the Paramount+ add-on to your package. (Note that Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)
Top features of the Sling TV Orange + Blue tier:
- Sling TV is also our first choice for streaming NFL games broadcast on the network this fall this summer.
- A total of 46 channels are available, including ABC, NBC and Fox (where available).
- You will get access to the NBA and NHL games that will be broadcast on TNT next season.
- All subscription levels include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.
