What TV channel is rain-delayed Daytona 500 on today? Free live stream, how to watch online

NASCAR has postponed the season-opening Daytona 500 until Monday, Feb. 19, because of two days of rain at Daytona International Speedway. The race will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

The race had been scheduled for Sunday afternoon, although the weather forecast put that in doubt all week. The final practice for drivers was canceled Saturday, as was the Xfinity Series race.

Joey Logano is set to start from the pole for Team Penske.

The last time the Daytona 500 was postponed a full day was in 2012. NASCAR completed 20 laps in 2020 before rain halted activity, and the race resumed the next day.

The Daytona 500 is set for 3 p.m. (4 p.m. ET) on Monday, Feb. 19, after the race was delayed Sunday due to rain.
