The NASCAR Cup Series will make some history over its next five races, beginning with the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, May 25. For the first time in forever (h/t Frozen), these races will not be shown live on linear TV, as they will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video — or as it prefers to call itself, simply Prime Video.
On one hand, this should be a boon for the increasing number of cord-cutters who don’t have cable, many of whom are already Prime Video subscribers. But without hard data to back up this assertion, it’s safe to say the majority of NASCAR fans do have cable and are accustomed to watching races that way.
That makes it understandable that some fans may be upset about the prospect of a paid subscription to Prime Video just to watch NASCAR races. The silver lining is that it’s possible to watch all five races for free, though there’s a catch.
How to Get a Free 30-Day Trial of Prime Video to Watch All 5 NASCAR Races
Happily, Prime Video is offering a free 30-day trial, and now that we are within 30 days of the final race being streamed (that would be the Pocono race on June 22), you can take advantage of it to see all five.
The catch? It’s only good for new Prime Video subscribers, so if you’ve previously paid for the service, this doesn’t apply to you.
(It might for someone in your household, however.)
Here’s what you need to do to sign up:
- Head to the NASCAR page of Prime Video.
- Tap or click on the blue ‘Join Prime’ button in the upper-right corner of the page.
- Enter your account and billing information. Note: You will have to enter a credit card, and while you won’t be charged anything at the current time, you will be billed the monthly Prime Video fee (which is $14.99 plus tax) if you don’t return and cancel your subscription before the free trial ends in 30 days.
