IMSA Preview Show Set for Saturday on NBC

Get ready for the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season and 64th Rolex 24 at Daytona with a special one-hour preview show, Saturday at 3 p.m. ET airing live on network NBC.

Three is the magic number for this show – it’s the third standalone NBC network special for IMSA since January 2025 after a 2025 season preview and 2025 championship preview show. Additionally, three is easy to remember as the show airs at 3 p.m. ET on January 3.

Three commentators from NBC Sports, with lead play by play broadcaster Leigh Diffey, NBC Sports sports car racing lead analyst Calvin Fish, and veteran pit reporter and host of the IMSA Endurance Hour podcast, Matt Yocum, will offer insights, previews and interviews from the top stars, drivers, teams and manufacturers set to compete this season.

The 24-hour race goes green on Sat., Jan. 24 at 1:40 p.m. ET. Network NBC will cover the start and finish of the race with flag-to-flag streaming via Peacock, with coverage starting at 1:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

NBC Sports will feature more than 160 hours of content in the 2026 season.
