Monster Energy Supercross champion Ken Roczen has added New Zealand’s Auckland round of the 2026 Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship to his off-season schedule, officially announced for the North Harbour Stadium event on October 31.

The announcement comes as tickets go on sale for the highly anticipated AUSX Auckland, marking another major milestone for the return of world-class supercross to New Zealand for the first time since 2019.

“Winning the AMA Supercross Championship this year was one of the proudest moments of my career,” Roczen commented. “It’s been a long journey to get back to the top and something I never take for granted.

“New Zealand has always had passionate supercross fans and I’m excited to be heading to Auckland for AUSX. Racing alongside riders like Cole Davies and competing in front of Kiwi fans is going to be something special – I can’t wait to get there.”

Roczen’s confirmation arrives in addition to Kiwi revelation Cole Davies’ homecoming, the North Shore-born sensation fresh from clinching the 250SX East title in Supercross in Salt Lake City last month.

AUSX CEO Adam Bailey said securing Roczen for Auckland represented another significant step in elevating the event’s international status: “Being able to secure an icon like Ken Roczen to compete in Auckland for his first and potentially last time, is such an amazing honour.

“For fans of the sport and anyone interested in witnessing one of the world’s best ever dirt biking talents – this may be the only opportunity on New Zealand soil and will be a night you do not want to miss. We cannot wait to share what we have in store for October 31!”
