The 63rd Daytona 500 takes place live at Daytona International Speedway this Sunday, February 14th, 2021. The biggest race of the NASCAR season promises pageantry, pitstops and a line-up that features Alex Bowman on pole and defending champion Denny Hamlin in 11th. Ready to lay down some rubber? The Daytona 500 start time is 2.30pm ET / 7.30pm GMT, and there are plenty of ways to catch a Daytona 500 live stream.
The season-opening race of the NASCAR Cup Series is the first of two Cup races held every year at Daytona. Over the past 63 years, the 500 mile-long, 200 lap spectacular has given rise to legends such as Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kurt Busch and Richard Petty.
The 2021 Daytona 500 will be a little different, of course. Attendance will be limited to 30,000 and spectators will be socially distanced, so it’s a good idea to enjoy a Daytona 500 live stream from the comfort of your couch. You can even stream the action on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android devices.
Date: Sunday 14th February 2021
Time: 2.30pm ET / 7.30pm GMT / 5.30am AEST
Location: Daytona Beach, Florida
The countdown to Daytona 500 qualifying has begun. Having finished in the top spot in 2019 and 2020, Denny Hamlin will be aiming for his third consecutive Daytona win in the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, but Joey Logano and Chase Elliott remain strong contenders.
For the first time in two decades, the race won’t include Jimmie Johnson. The seven-time Cup Series champion retired as a full-time NASCAR driver last year and will be racing in Indycar.
More than 80 per cent of the cars in the last four Daytona 500s have been involved in accidents and it’s rare to see more than 60 per cent of cars cross the finish line. So, as always, it won’t be the fastest car that wins but the driver who refuses to lose!
Here’s how to watch a Daytona 500 live stream from anywhere in the world.

Watch a Daytona 500 live stream using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant NASCAR rights holders, you won’t be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money back guarantee with its VPN service. You can use it to watch on your mobile, tablet, laptop, TV, games console and more. There’s 24/7 customer support and three months free when you sign-up. Try it – you’ll be surprised how simple it is.
