NASCAR Announces Major Change to 2026 Awards Ceremony

NASCAR is changing the setting for its biggest year-end celebration. The 2026 NASCAR Awards will take place in Miami just two days after the Cup Series championship is decided at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

NASCAR has announced a major change to its 2026 Awards Ceremony, moving the event to Miami for the first time. The ceremony, which will honor the champions from all three national series, will now take place on Tuesday, Nov. 10, just two days after the Cup Series championship is decided at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, Nov.

8. This move allows NASCAR to extend Championship Weekend beyond the racetrack, creating a more cohesive and intense finish to the season. The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County will host the event, providing a dynamic backdrop to celebrate the sport's champions and bring the energy of Championship Weekend to South Florida.

Fans will be able to watch the ceremony without a traditional television subscription, as it will be livestreamed on the NASCAR Channel starting at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
