2026 SMX schedule announced
The SMX LeagueTM announced today the full 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship regular season schedule and tickets on sale for all 17 rounds of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Supercross pre-sale begins today at 10 a.m. ET for preferred customers and runs through next Monday, October 6. Tickets will then become available to the public starting on Tuesday, October 7 at 10 a.m. ET and then 10 a.m. in each subsequent time zone.

The 17-race Supercross schedule is poised to visit 16 different cities spread across 13 states, from California and Arizona to Ohio and Pennsylvania. New to the schedule this season is a stop at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio for the first time in over 30 years. After a brief hiatus, stops in Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium and Nashville, Tennessee at Nissan Stadium, return.
As it has been for more than five decades, the outdoor component of the regular season will feature the same hallowed venues for the 55th edition of the Pro Motocross Championship. The summer campaign will once again consist of 11 races and 22 grueling motos but will begin one week later than what has been tradition, which will give the world’s best racers and the sport’s most elite teams an additional week of preparation following Supercross and a well-deserved weekend at home during the Memorial Day holiday.
The biggest stars in the sport will be lining up at the Anaheim Opener in January as the 450SX Class once again promises to deliver one of the deepest fields in recent memory. Five past champions - Jason Anderson, Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, defending Supercross champion Cooper Webb, and defending SMX World Champion Jett Lawrence (Australia) will be fighting for another title. Vying for their first crack at the crown will be top contenders Hunter Lawrence (Australia, SMX World Championship and Pro Motocross runner-up), Ken Roczen (Germany), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Justin Cooper, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, and Justin Barcia each of whom are former champions, race winners, and podium finishers.
When the series shifts outdoors on May 30, defending champion Jett Lawrence will look to extend his dominance against former champions Chase Sexton, Eli Tomac, Dylan Ferrandis, and Ken Roczen. Challenging for their first Pro Motocross title are 2025 runner-up Hunter Lawrence, fourth-place finisher Justin Cooper, fifth-place finisher RJ Hampshire in his rookie campaign, as well as Jorge Prado and Aaron Plessinger.

Pro Motocross Schedule
The 2026 Pro Motocross Championship schedule will once again visit 10 different states, kicking off as it always does in Southern California from Fox Raceway at Pala on Saturday, May 30, for a four-race stretch to open the championship. The storied Hangtown Motocross Classic will bring the series to Northern California’s Prairie City SVRA on June 6, before it begins an eastward progression to the foot of the Rocky Mountains and Colorado’s scenic but daunting Thunder Valley Motocross Park on June 13 for the Thunder Valley National. Then it’s on to “The Country Club of Motocross” at Pennsylvania’s High Point Raceway on June 20 for the celebrated Father’s Day tradition that is the High Point National.
After observing its first break in action of the summer, the series will resume in the Great Lakes for its iconic Independence Day celebration that is the RedBud National from Michigan’s legendary RedBud MX, which will take place on the 4th of July for a memorable day of racing. From there, the summer campaign will reach its halfway point in the revered sands of Massachusetts’ The Wick 338 on July 11 for the Southwick National. The championship will then travel westward to the Land of 10,000 Lakes as Minnesota’s Spring Creek MX Park hosts the Spring Creek National on July 18 before traveling to the Pacific Northwest and Washington’s picturesque Washougal MX Park on July 25 for the Washougal National.
A well-deserved two-week break in action will preclude the series’ highly anticipated, tension-filled three-race stretch run to crown a pair of Pro Motocross Champions. Central New York’s iconic Unadilla MX will kick things off with the longest running event in the championship on August 15 for the Unadilla National. Southern Maryland’s Budds Creek Motocross Park will then host the penultimate race of the summer on August 22 with the Budds Creek National before the summer campaign culminates in the motorsports mecca of the greater Indianapolis area on August 29 for the Ironman National from Indiana’s Ironman Raceway.
Dates and venues for the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship Finals, fueled by Monster Energy and subsequent ticketing information will be released in the coming months.
