NASCAR Cup Series 2025: Phoenix start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series heads to Arizona this weekend as Phoenix Raceway prepares to host the Shriners Children's 500.

Last time out at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), the Cup Series stars took on a road course for the first time this season, ending in a thrilling four-car battle and Christopher Bell coming out on top in the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.

It is very much back to oval action this weekend, however, with Phoenix Raceway a 1-mile, low-banked tri-oval, with eight degrees banking in turns one and two, and 11 degrees banking in turns three and four.

This weekend will mark the 56th Cup Series race hosted at the Circuit, with the inaugural Cup race at Phoenix Raceway having been held in 1988 and won by Alan Kulwici.

Last year's Spring race at Phoenix just so happens to have been won by the same man who was successful at COTA last weekend ⁠— Bell. However, the last time the series raced at Phoenix was in the championship four back in November, where Joey Logano won the race to become the 2024 champion.

With all of that said, it promises to be an exciting, competitive race, and we've got all the details you need to know covered below.
