The Daytona 500 2027 is scheduled for Sunday, February 21, 2027, at Daytona International Speedway. In the October 14, 2026 source snapshot, its start time remained TBD. Put the date on a calendar, but do not treat it as a confirmed race hour or contract settlement deadline.
Primary sources checked: the official Speedway event calendar, the 2027 Daytona 500 event page and Kalshi's market-rules guidance. This is a static calendar guide and source checklist, not live odds.
The track calendar provides the date evidence. All dates below are in 2027.
| Date in 2027 | Event | Listed time |
|---|---|---|
| February 13-21 | Speedweeks presented by AdventHealth | Varies by event |
| February 13 | The Wheatley Vodka Clash at Daytona | TBD |
| February 17 | Daytona 500 Qualifying presented by Busch Light | TBD |
| February 18 | Duel at Daytona | TBD |
| February 21 | Daytona 500 | TBD |
Speedweeks spans multiple events. The Clash is separate from the Daytona 500, and the Duel comprises two 150-mile qualifying races that help shape the field. Rolex 24 endurance racing is also a different event, not another name for the Daytona 500.
The race page describes a 200-lap event and distinguishes single-day from multi-day admission. A package's opening date is not necessarily the race date. For travel or ticket planning, check the organizer again. The snapshot does not establish a start time, entries or grid, and schedules can change.
The October 14, 2026 check identified Kalshi's NASCAR Race series, KXNASCARRACE. Its checked open-event response contained exactly three events with 2026-suffixed identifiers. No 2027 Daytona 500 event appeared in that response.
This is a bounded check of one series, not an exhaustive search across Kalshi. Daytona 24 Hour series are not evidence of a Daytona 500 listing, and future availability is not assured. Later API responses may differ from this snapshot.
Get current availability and prices from Kalshi directly. The market-snapshot hub provides broader market context, not confirmation that a contract for this race exists.
If a matching listing appears, verify its active status and these details on its own market page:
A generic motorsport template cannot establish a future contract's terms. The Kalshi settlement guide explains why event timing and outcome determination differ.
Sources read for the October 14, 2026 snapshot:
NOT reread for this snapshot: the Kalshi exchange rulebook returned HTTP 429, and the CFTC organization record returned HTTP 403. Both could not be reread on October 14, 2026. These are further-reading links, not support for the race-date or availability findings. No regulatory or eligibility conclusion is drawn from those inaccessible pages.
Next planned source review: December 23, 2026, with another check if the organizer changes the schedule or a matching 2027 contract is verified.
The official Daytona International Speedway calendar listed Sunday, February 21, 2027, in the October 14, 2026 snapshot. That is the scheduled race date, not a guarantee of completion that day. Speedweeks begins earlier, and any contract's trading or settlement deadline must be checked separately.
The start time was TBD in the official calendar checked on October 14, 2026. This guide does not assign a green-flag hour or broadcast time. Check the organizer's updated calendar before making detailed plans, and do not substitute a previous year's start time for a confirmed 2027 announcement.
The calendar listed Daytona 500 Qualifying presented by Busch Light for February 17, 2027, and Duel at Daytona for February 18, 2027. Start times were TBD. The first session concerns pole and front-row qualifying; the Duel consists of two 150-mile qualifying races that help shape the Daytona 500 field.
No. No 2027 Daytona 500 event appeared in the checked KXNASCARRACE open-event response on October 14, 2026. That finding covers only the specific series query, not every Kalshi listing. Current availability, prices, rules and eligibility must be verified directly on Kalshi before any trade.
