Denny Hamlin currently leads the NASCAR Cup Series standings, trailed by Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney, respectively, but those standings could change at this weekend's Window World 450 at North Wilkesboro Speedway. The race is just past the halfway point in the season and also marks the fourth race in the 2026 in-season challenge, a relatively new single-elimination mid-season tournament that lasts over the course of five races and will earn one winning driver $1 million. (You can check out all the rules of the in-season challenge here.)

Here's everything you need to know about the Window World 450 at North Wilkesboro Speedway and how to watch every other 2026 NASCAR Cup Series race this season.

Date: Sunday, July 19, 2026

Time: 7 p.m. ET

Location: North Wilkesboro Speedway, North Wilkesboro, N.C.

Channel: TNT, truTV

Streaming:HBO Max, YouTube TV, and more

The Window World 450 will be held this Sunday, July 19, at 7 p.m. ET at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina. 

The Window World 450 will be broadcast live on TNT and truTV. You can also watch practice and qualifying races on Saturday on truTV. Every race of the weekend, along with an alternate driver-cam, will also be available to stream live on HBO Max on Sunday.

Saturday, July 18

  • Practice, 5 p.m. (truTV, HBO Max)

  • Qualifying, 6:10 p.m. (truTV, HBO Max)

Sunday, July 19

  • NASCAR Window World 450, 7 p.m. (TNT, truTV, HBO Max)

To watch every single race of the 2026 NASCAR season, you'll need a couple of different streaming services. You can stream NBC, USA, Fox, FS1, TNT, and truTV on streaming platforms like DirecTV and Hulu + Live TV, which will get you access to the majority of this year's races, but you'll also need a Prime Video subscription if you want to catch the Coca Cola 600, the Cracker Barrel 400, FireKeepers Casino 400, NASCAR Cup Series Race at Pocono and the Anduril 250. Races airing on NBC and USA will also be available to stream on Peacock, and races airing on Fox and FS1 will be streaming on Fox One. And once again, HBO Max will also be showing alternate driver-cam angles at every race this season.
