The 2026 Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross championship schedules have formally been released, spanning the entire 28-round regular season of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX).

The 17-race Supercross calendar is poised to visit 16 different cities spread across 13 states, from California and Arizona to Ohio and Pennsylvania.

New to the series next season is a stop at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio, for the first time in over 30 years. After a brief hiatus, Houston, Texas, at NRG Stadium and Nashville, Tennessee, at Nissan Stadium also return to the schedule.

Anaheim 1 (January 10) serves as the 2026 Supercross opener, with the first six rounds all featuring the 250SX West division, before Arlington, Texas, hosts the first 250SX East race of the year on February 21.

Three Triple Crown events will take place, beginning with round four on January 31 at NRG Stadium in Houston, followed by rounds nine and 14 on March 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and April 18 at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland.

The first East/West Showdown will be held on March 21 at Protective Stadium in Birmingham (round 10), before the second will be held on April 4 at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis (round 12) and the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown will be May 9 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City (round 17).

Supercross pre-sale begins today at 10:00am ET for preferred customers and runs through next Monday, October 6. Tickets will then become available to the public starting on Tuesday, October 7. Fans can sign up for preferred access or make ticket purchases online.

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 in 2026.

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 riders and teams an additional week of preparation following Supercross over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

It will commence on May 30 at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, while – following a one-off finale at Budds Creek this year – the 11th round returns to Crawfordsville, Indiana, for the Ironman National on August 29.

While the Monster Energy-backed SMX Playoff and Final dates have been confirmed – September 12, 19 and 26 – the venues are yet to be revealed for 2026. They’re expected to be announced in January next year.
