NASCAR revealed part of its 2025 schedule on Thursday, announcing that Phoenix Raceway will host the Cup Series championship race on Nov. 2.

It will be the sixth consecutive year that Championship Week has been held in Phoenix, starting in 2020. NBC Sports will air the title race.

NASCAR also disclosed that Amazon's Prime Video will make its 2025 debut of racing coverage with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25.

Beginning in 2025, NBC Sports, Fox Sports, Prime Video and TNT Sports will provide the coverage of all 38 Cup Series races, with the media rights agreement expiring after the 2031 season.

Earlier this week, NASCAR announced an in-season, single-elimination bracket tournament, with drivers over the course of five races competing for a $1 million first-place prize.

The tournament will begin June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
