For anyone who's asking "What channel is the NASCAR race on today?" the answer can be found in the cable listings.
The channel for Sunday's Cup Series playoff opener, the Cook Out Southern 500, is NBCSN. The NBC family of networks is airing all of the remaining Cup Series races in 2021, and NBCSN is showing Sunday's race — the first race in the Round of 16 — from Darlington Raceway.
NBC and NBCSN will divide the 10 playoff race telecasts evenly through the season-ending Championship 4 race in November.
Below is all you need to know about the schedule for Sunday's race at Darlington, including the TV coverage and start time.

NBCSN's programming will begin at 5 p.m. with the "Countdown to Green" prerace show, followed by race coverage beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
The race broadcast will be a bit different from the usual presentation. Regular play-by-play announcer Rick Allen will call Stages 1 and 3 of the race, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. will call Stage 2. Earnhardt, Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte will provide analysis in Stages 1 and 3, but Dale Jarrett and Kyle Petty will join Earnhardt for Stage 2.
"Stage 2 will feature three of the most famous last names in NASCAR together in the booth, with Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Petty and Dale Jarrett calling the action," NBC said in its weekly NASCAR broadcast preview. The Southern 500 has featured throwback themes in recent years.
Dave Burns, Marty Snider and Parker Kligerman will be the pit reporters.
