Unless I am being blonde, there now seems no Nascar at all on Sky. Not even the Daytona 500 :( I know when they were just on Fox, sometimes they did not have those events. Does anyone know whats up? I cant watch without a VPN and overseas sub by the looks.

This was from last month...

"Kiwi NASCAR fans might have to look to global streaming sites to catch their stock car fix this year – for now at least.

Those looking to watch last weekend’s non-championship Clash at the Coliseum race were likely disappointed to learn the race was not televised live on Sky Sport – NASCAR’s once traditional Kiwi home.

And that disappointment might have to set in for a while, with Sky currently not in a position to broadcast the 2022 series.

“We are still working through access to NASCAR for 2022,” a Sky representative told Velocity News on Tuesday.

A Velocity source has also raised the issue with Sky, where they were told [Sky] no longer has the rights to NASCAR this season."

Thanks. It was spotty last year so not surprised. But still expected the Daytona 500 and was like .... um where is it.

Most look Geo blocked so far but will keep hunting. Thanks Sky as we are pretty much locked out from watching right now without a VPN.

So if sky don't have the rights, is there nothing nascar based you can subscribe to? Or is that locked to cable?

As there should be no need to use a geo unblocker as there is no legitimate rights holders covering NZ

Hulu, Kayo Sports and Peacock all offer and all are GEO locked needing VPN. Cant find anything direct

Knew was messy last year but figured that was the Fox issue which had always been there for some events. No Daytona was ...... what????

Yeah they're all specific services for specific countries.....that would like me trying to use Sky UK for formula 1 - instead of F1TV.

Does nascar have their own service? I suspect not.....though a few US centric sports do (NFL, MBA)

Looks like two options

VPN and Kayo or Hulu+

With SVG back in August, I hope Sky take this as a prod to finally support the NASCAR fans

I've been grabbing their youtube highlights packages. But was surprised to find almost no way to watch t from here at all. Peacock was a possible option.

Anyone seen an update about next year? With the $299 SSN offer I am considering but no Nascar means a no go still for me.

I havent seen anything about NASCAR on Sky, signed up for the year with Sky to watch NRL as it was still cheaper than just paying monthly when NRL is on, but not particularly excited for Super cars next year.
I Recommend the $18 monthly for NASCAR highlights on Youtube!

Doing your best is much more important than being the best.

Is that just the nascar highlights or are you paying for something else . They’re about 20’mins long. I just download those into Plex for the moment.

There is live Nascar on the Threenow app currently, look under Live TV

Looks like they have built a tiny race track inside a football stadium
