FAQs
Can I watch LIVE CW Sports in The CW app or on CWTV.com?
Beginning August 4, 2026, LIVE CW Sports events are available in the ESPN App. The NASCAR Practice & Qualifying sessions for the O’Reilly Auto Parts series will continue to live stream in The CW app through the end of the 2026 season.
Beyond 2026 and during NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts series races, The CW will continue to offer FREE companion viewing experiences, including select In-Car Cameras and the race Battle Cam, when available.
Can I still watch sports on The CW television channel?
Yes. Live sports continue to air LIVE on The CW broadcast network. You can watch through:
- A participating cable, satellite, or live TV streaming provider that carries your local CW station.
- A free over-the-air antenna, where available.
Where can I watch replays?
Replay availability varies by sport and event.
Beginning the day after a live event airs, ESPN will have an exclusive replay window for the first three days.
After that exclusive window ends, eligible replay content will also become available for FREE on The CW app and CWTV.com.
Exception: WWE NXT is available on demand the day after it airs on multiple platforms, including for FREE on The CW App and CWTV.com.
