A provisional entry list has been released ahead of the 2026 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) with team rosters firming for the high-profile international event set for Ernee, France, between October 2-4.

Defending champions Team Australia will feature an all-new line-up, with Australian MX1 champion Jed Beaton, national number two Aaron Tanti, and MX2 national champion Alex Larwood named to represent the green and gold.

This follows both Jett and Hunter Lawrence opting out of MXoN earlier in the year, with both brothers set to take time away from off-season competition in 2026. Additionally, recent surgery for Kyle Webster – who has been part of the winning team the past two years – has ruled him out.

After finishing runner-up one year ago, the United States returns with a formidable group that includes Chance Hymas, Levi Kitchen, and Cooper Webb. Hymas will step up to the premier MXGP category for the event, while Kitchen will race MX2 and Webb will compete in the Open class.

Last year’s third-place finishers, Team France, will feature Romain Febvre, Mathis Valin, and Tom Vialle, who will look to reclaim the Chamberlain Trophy in 2026 after last winning it when Ernee hosted the event in 2024.

The Coenen twins – Lucas in MXGP and Sacha in MX2 – have been announced for Belgium, while Liam Everts will step up to the Open division. Spain also enters with a strong line-up, led by four-time world champion Jorge Prado, alongside current MX2 World Championship leader Guillem Farres, and Ruben Fernandez.

A pair of factory Ducati riders, Andrea Bonacorsi and Ferruccio Zanchi, will team up with MXGP rookie Adam Adamo in the Italian team, while Latvia, with brothers Karlis and Janis Reisulis, alongside Pauls Jonass is also a podium threat.

Other headlines among the field include five-time world champion Tim Gajser (Slovenia) and newly-crowned MXGP champion Jeffrey Herlings (Netherlands). The in-form Dutchman will be joined by Roan van de Moosdijk, while the third seat is yet to be filled following Kay de Wolf’s injury.
