DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 5, 2026) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, unveils the series’ broadcast schedule for the 2026 campaign.
Since debuting on FOX Sports platforms in 2022, Progressive AFT has experienced significant growth in national visibility and audience reach. That momentum carries into 2026, with FS1 once again serving as the primary broadcast home for the series, complemented by a special broadcast window on FOX for the Nashville Short Track.
The proven model introduced in recent seasons will remain in place, with each Progressive AFT round presented as a one-hour premiere telecast on FS1. In many instances, broadcasts will air the weekend following the event, maintaining premium weekend time slots and frequently aligning with major motorsports programming to maximize exposure.
A highlight of the 2026 schedule is the Nashville Short Track, which will receive national network coverage on FOX. The one-hour telecast is set to air Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT), delivering Progressive AFT to a broad over-the-air audience.
