If your cable subscription doesn't carry FS1, or you've cut the cord with your cable company, you can still watch today's race. Below are the platforms on which you can watch today's game live.

Save 50% on Sling TV: The most cost-effective way to stream the Sonoma 250

If you don't have cable TV that includes FS1, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream today's race is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch today's race, you'll need a subscription to the Blue tier, which includes access to your local network affiliate's live feed (excluding CBS) and FS1. To level up your coverage and get access to ESPN and TNT, subscribe to the Orange + Blue tier plan (recommended).

The Blue tier is $45 per month. The Sling's Orange + Blue tier costs $60 per month, but the platform is currently offering 50% off the first month of any pricing tier, making the Orange + Blue tier $30 for the first month.

Note: Because Sling TV doesn't carry CBS, you won't be able to watch CBS-aired programming like next year's NFL games on CBS. To watch these games, plus PGA golf, UEFA Champions League and more live sports, we recommend you also subscribe to Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+ with Showtime costs $12 per month after a one-week free trial.

Sling TV is also our top choice to stream the NBA Finals.
There are 46 channels to watch in total, including ABC, NBC and Fox (where available).
