Prime Video will bring back its popular side-by-side commercial format for its NASCAR Cup Series coverage during the 2026 season.

Prime Video is back for its five-race stretch during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, and so is one of its most popular features. The double-box commercial format returns, ensuring every Prime Video race will feature end-to-end live coverage of green-flag racing so viewers never miss a moment of the action, according to a press release. In 2025, Prime Video introduced this feature on a full-time basis, and it was universally loved by NASCAR fans.

The constant coverage of green-flag racing started a trend, which was adopted by FOX Sports in 2026. Prime Video will also present an extended period of commercial-free racing throughout the conclusion of every event. The coverage will begin with the 2026 Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, May 24, and progress into the summer.

Prime Video will have four more races, concluding with NASCAR's first race on a military base in San Diego. The vibes around NASCAR are high as Prime Video returns after a successful debut season in 2025.
