2026 SuperMotocross World Championship Overview
The 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship is set to commence with the Anaheim 1 opener on January 10, kicking off a series of 17 races that form part of the SuperMotocross (SMX) World Championship. This marks the fourth year of the SMX schedule, culminating in three postseason Playoff rounds at new venues after the Supercross and Pro Motocross Championships. Champions will be crowned across Supercross, Pro Motocross, and SuperMotocross categories, with Jett Lawrence aiming to defend his titles against fierce competition.
The 2026 season introduces a new venue in Cleveland and features popular stops in Houston and Nashville. The schedule includes three East-West Showdowns and three Triple Crown events. Notably, free practice has been removed from race day, leaving riders with two timed qualifying sessions. Teams such as Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing have made significant roster changes, while other teams like Honda HRC Progressive maintain their lineups. The season promises intense competition as riders vie for the prestigious SMX title and its accompanying $1 million prize.
