Daytona 500 live stream: How to watch 2020 race for free without cable image

The Daytona 500 in 2020 will broadcast live on Fox for the 14th consecutive year, meaning anybody with access to cable TV will be able to watch the race Monday But even cord-cutters should have no trouble finding a live stream for the 62nd running of the Great American Race.

LIVE: Lap-by-lap updates & highlights from the Daytona 500

With so many over-the-top TV streaming services carrying Fox in 2020, there are more ways than ever to watch the Daytona 500, which this year will feature the network's first ever two-man booth for a NASCAR Cup Series broadcast. Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon will call the race, but they'll have help from analysts Jamie McMurray and Larry McReynolds, plus pit reporters Jamie Little, Matt Yocum, Vince Welch and Regan Smith.

The 2020 Daytona 500 arrives with a start time of 4 p.m. ET after Sunday's rain postponement and will be broadcast on Fox.

Below are all the live streaming options for the Daytona 500.

Daytona 500 live stream

Anybody who has a cable or satellite subscription can stream the Daytona 500 live via Fox Sports Go. This should be the preferred route for a viewer who has such a subscription but isn't able to get in front of his or her TV. Fox Sports Go also will present a Spanish version of the Daytona 500 broadcast.

For those who don't have a cable or satellite subscription, there are five OTT TV streaming options that carry Fox and, therefore, the 2020 Daytona 500 — Sling, Hulu, YouTubeTV, fuboTV and AT&T Now.

Of the five, Hulu, YouTubeTV and fuboTV offer free trial options — if you wish, you can simply cancel your subscription after the race and be charged nothing.

Below are links to each.

On the call of the 2020 Daytona 500 will be Joy and Gordon, marking the first race the duo has worked together since longtime Fox NASCAR analyst Darrell Waltrip retired. Joy will call his 41st Daytona 500, and Gordon will call his fifth.

"In a two-man booth, you’re much more focused on the call of the race and not looking for other storylines," Joy told Sporting News when asked about the pros and cons of Fox's new broadcast setup.
