NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Today: Watkins Glen start time, TV channel, live stream and lineup

The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series hits Watkins Glen International today (Saturday August 9), and we have all of the time scheduling, TV and streaming details you need ahead of the race.

The Mission 200 at The Glen will see the Xfinity Series drivers complete 82 laps around the road track in upstate New York, with just four races to go in the regular season before the playoffs begin.

Last time out at Iowa, Sam Meyer emerged victorious in the No. 41 Ford, beating Jesse Love and Ross Chastain to the black and white checkered flag to end Connor Zilisch's three-race win streak.

Zilisch could get back to winning ways quickly given his strength on road courses, however, as demonstrated at Watkins Glen last year when he won on his Xfinity Series debut.

With that said, let's get into the all-important details that you came here for.
