How to buy 2026 NASCAR Cup Series tickets

• The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season includes 36 points-paying races.
• This guide explains how to buy tickets for every NASCAR Cup Series event in 2026, along with crucial information about each race.

The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season draws plenty of intrigue as stock car's finest aim for glory and the chance at a Cup Series Championship.

From the staples of Darlington (S.C.) Raceway and Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway to the twists and turns of Watkins Glen (N.Y.) Int'l and Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway, the series presents a wide variety of tracks that ensures the champion truly conquered all.

New this season includes the reintroduction of "The Chase" playoff format, where drivers no longer have the "win and you're in" guarantee like previous seasons. Starting with the Southern 500 at Darlington on Sept. 6, 16 drivers will compete in a 10-race chase to the title, where the most consistent driver over that span will be crowned champion.

Regardless if you're a diehard fan or looking to check out the sport for the first time, below we curated your go-to source for how to buy NASCAR Cup Series tickets this season at every venue on the circuit.
