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

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series continues at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend with the Jack Link's 500.

The Cup Series returns after a rare weekend off over Easter, with only the Truck Series and Xfinity Series racing last weekend at Rockingham.

Kyle Larson took an absolutely dominant win last time out in Bristol, sweeping every stage on his way to victory and leading 411 of the race's 500 laps for his second victory of the year.

Last year's race ended in chaos, with Michael McDowell in the lead pulling a bad block on Brad Keselowski coming toward the chequered flag, triggering The Big One and allowing Tyler Reddick to sneak through for victory.

Despite not having headed to victory road since the season opener at Daytona, William Byron retains a 30-point lead in the points standings over Denny Hamlin, with Christopher Bell and Larson a further 11 and 12 points back respectively.

With that said, let's get into this weekend's Cup Series schedule and how you can watch all of the action live on TV.
