NASCAR fans have long considered the Truck Series to be the go-to series for more rough-and-tumble racing, as well as a chance to see up-and-coming racers before they make it big. The Playoffs provide the ultimate opportunity to see the best of the best of NASCAR racing.

NASCAR Truck Series Playoffs Channels

Like most of the Truck Series regular season, all seven playoff races will be televised live on Fox Sports 1 (FS1). None will be broadcast on local Fox networks this year. But watching if Ben Rhodes or Matt Crafton can take the Truck Series trophy again this year doesn’t have to break the bank — not with Sling TV.

Streaming the NASCAR Truck Series Playoffs

Sling TV is the cheapest way to watch FS1. Any cheaper TV provider won’t have any live sports channels, and Fox has yet to hop on the network-specific streaming service bandwagon like CBS (Paramount+), NBC (Peacock), or ABC (Hulu/Disney+).

For $40.00/mo, Sling’s Blue base plan gets you over 40 channels, including FS1 and other sports networks like NFL Network and USA. You’ll also be able to watch popular live pay channels like Discovery, Fox News, MSNBC, FX, Syfy, and TLC.

Sling Blue streams on up to 3 devices at one time, and includes 50 hours of cloud DVR storage. It supports most major streaming and mobile devices, as well as many smart TVs.
