The Rolex 24 at Daytona is back for the 64th running of this historic event, and it will be the No. 93 Meyer Shank Racing Acura leading the field of 60 cars to the green flag. However, it was the No. 31 Whelen Cadillac of Action Express that set the fastest time in qualifying, only to later be stripped of pole position after failing post-qualifying inspection.

To watch the Rolex 24 in the United States, you can find the first hour of the race on NBC, starting at 1:30pm EST  on Saturday, January 24th. The race will return to NBC for the final 2.5 hours of running, as well as some time for post-race coverage, beginning at 12pm EST on Sunday, January 25th.

However, Peacock will be streaming the race in its entirety -- all 24 hours.

For most international viewers, it's fairly simple as you just need to head on over to IMSA.TV  or IMSA's official YouTube channel for complete coverage of the event.

NBC will utilize 12 commentators, analysts and reporters throughout the marathon race. The IMSA commentating team will include names such as Leigh Diffey and Brian Till, as well as former Rolex 24 champions Calvin Fish, Townsend Bell, and Oliver Gavin.

Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte will join Marty Snider at the Peacock Pit Box to provide expert analysis while Amanda Busick, Dave Burns, Kevin Lee, Matt Yocum, and Chris Wilner work the pit lane to follow the biggest stories as they unfold.

The No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsport team won the event in both 2024 and 2025, and are attempting to win the crown jewel of North American sports car racing for a third consecutive year.
