2025 Dakar Rally Coverage Starts Tomorrow at 8pm ET

Tune in starting tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 3, at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBC Sports digital platforms for the exciting coverage of the 2025 Dakar Rally. The Dakar Rally is known as the toughest off-road endurance race in the world, and you won’t want to miss a minute of the action!

NBC Sports will be producing a one-hour show each day of the event, airing at 8 p.m. ET on the NBC Sports Channel on Peacock. If you can’t watch it live, don’t worry – the show will be available on-demand on Peacock after it streams. Plus, you can catch highlights from all classes and racer interviews on Peacock and NBC Sports digital platforms throughout the race.

This year, over 700 competitors from more than 70 countries will be racing across 3,000+ miles of challenging terrain in Saudi Arabia. There will be over 400 vehicles hitting the course, including motorbikes, cars, trucks, quads, and more. This is the sixth time Saudi Arabia has hosted the race, with 2025 marking the 47th edition of this iconic event that started in Paris, France, and finished in Dakar, Senegal, back in 1979.

Some of the top U.S. racers to watch out for include Ricky Brabec, the two-time defending Dakar Rally bike champion, and Seth Quintero, who set a record for the most stage wins in a single Dakar (12 wins in 2022) and will be competing in the premier car class. We’re also looking forward to seeing Sara Price build on her fourth-place finish in the SSV class last year.

And that’s not all – don’t miss out on the IMSA Preview Show this Saturday, Jan. 4, at 3 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
