There are four drivers battling for the NASCAR Cup Series championship on Sunday in a winner-take-all event staged at Phoenix Raceway.
Two of those competitors, Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski, have appeared in the Championship 4 before and won. Denny Hamlin has fallen short on four occasions. And Chase Elliott has never advanced this far in a season.
Kevin Harvick is notably no longer in contention, having been eliminated last weekend at Martinsville.
NBC will broadcast the Championship 4 race through its conclusion.

What time does the NASCAR race start today?
- Date: Sunday, Nov. 8
- Start time: 3 p.m. ET
The NASCAR Cup Series championship race begins at Phoenix at 3 p.m. ET. That means it will be on at 1 p.m. local time. Despite the region's reputation for always being unbearably hot, the temperature should be in the 60s.
Most of NASCAR's recent playoff races have taken place around the same time, but several have been delayed or postponed because of inclement weather. There is not expected to be any rain for the title race.
The race is 312 laps spread over three stages. The distance of the race is 312 miles.
Chase Elliott's best finish at Phoenix is second place, and he's logged two top-five performances. Joey Logano's has won twice in his career at the track, including a victory in March. Denny Hamlin also has two wins, but it's taken him far more time than Logano to get there. Brad Keselowski has never won at the desert venue.
NASCAR live stream for championship race
Anybody who has a cable or satellite subscription can stream Sunday's Championship 4 race live via NBCSports.com or the NBC Sports app. This should be the preferred route for a viewer who has such a subscription but isn't able to get in front of his or her TV.
For those who don't have a cable or satellite subscription, there are five OTT TV streaming options that carry NBC and NBCSN — Sling, Hulu, YouTubeTV, fuboTV and AT&T Now. All five currently offer free trial options.

NASCAR playoff schedule, results for 2020

| Sat., Sept. 12 | Richmond | NBCSN | Brad Keselowski |

As for the regular season, a previously unscheduled Darlington race ran on May 17 instead of the the Chicagoland race that was originally scheduled for June 21. Another Darlington race ran on May 20 instead of the postponed Richmond race that was originally scheduled for April 19. The Charlotte race on May 27 ran instead of the Sonoma race that was originally scheduled for June 14.
The Pocono doubleheader remained as previously scheduled for the final weekend of June, with the Cup Series racing on back-to-back days. Those races were presented on Fox (and FS1) rather than on NBC. Fox's closed its coverage this season with the All-Star Race at Bristol on July 15.
Previously postponed races at Dover and Michigan became part of Saturday-Sunday doubleheaders at those respective tracks in August.
Because New York required people to quarantine for 14 days after traveling from one of the states impacted heavily by COVID-19 (including North Carolina), the Watkins Glen race on Aug. 16 was moved to the Daytona road course. According to The Athletic, NASCAR tried to get a quarantine waiver for its Watkins Glen races but was denied by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
The Aug. 16 race was the NASCAR Cup Series' first on the road course at Daytona.
