Feld Entertainment has announced that Supercross Futures is set to return in 2022 with a host of changes to the AMA National Championship

After a year off, the series meant to give Supercross experience to up-and-coming amateurs will return with the sole focus on the 250SX Futures class, with athletes qualifying at events across the country starting in October.

Six regions are set to play host to Primary qualifiers, with existing events will be serving as the venue for the opening round. Riders will qualify by finishing in the top 22 in their respective primary and can enter multiple regions.

Those 22 eligible riders will advance to the second round of qualifying, labeled as Premier qualifiers, set to take place at a Monster Energy Supercross race during the 2022 season.

From there, 24 finalists will proceed to the Supercross Futures AMA National Championship scheduled for the final round of the 2022 Monster Energy Supercross season in Salt Lake City to determine the champion.

The benefit, alongside valuable experience under the lights at Supercross, is that athletes competing in the 250SX Futures Class will be awarded points towards their pro Supercross license based on their finishing positions at the Premiere qualifying events.

In the fall of 2022 and during the 2023 Supercross season, Supercross Futures, will expand under the same qualifying procedures to host classes of all ages and skill levels. For more information, including the rulebook, visit www.supercrosslive.com.
