The tickets for all 17 rounds of the championship are now available for purchase, signaling the beginning of what promises to be an exhilarating season of motocross racing.

Overview of the Championship

The 2026 series will span across 16 cities in 13 states, showcasing the return of some classic venues and introducing new ones. Notably, Cleveland, Ohio will host racing at Huntington Bank Field for the first time in over three decades, rekindling historical memories for long-time fans. Other returning locations include Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium, and the vibrant city of Nashville, Tennessee at Nissan Stadium.

With the outdoor component thrilled by its legacy, the Pro Motocross Championship will embark on its 55th edition, featuring the same iconic venues that have hosted epic battles in the past. The outdoor season will kick off one week later than usual, allowing racers an extra week of preparation post-Supercross. This adjustment aims to give racers a well-deserved break during the Memorial Day weekend.

Key Races and Competitors

All eyes will be on the 450SX Class as they line up for the Anaheim Opener in January. This season sees a deep pool of talent, including five past champions: Jason Anderson, Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, Cooper Webb, and Jett Lawrence, who will be defending his title as the reigning SMX World Champion. Several challengers, including Hunter Lawrence and Ken Roczen, are simply itching to secure their position among motocross's elite and claim their first championship.

As the series transitions outdoors on May 30, defending champion Jett Lawrence aims to maintain his dominance against formidable competitors like Tomac and Sexton, while the battle for the first Pro Motocross title heats up among rookies and veterans.

Exciting Triple Crown Events

One of the standout features of the 2026 schedule includes three Triple Crown events, which fans have quickly come to love since they were introduced in 2018. The first of these will take place on January 31 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, with more rounds to follow in Indianapolis and Cleveland.

The 250SX Class Championships will feature two divisions, with heated battles expected as the defending Western Division Champion, Haiden Deegan, returns along with worthy opponents aiming to claim the crown.

Fan Engagement and Experiences

The championship will maintain its focus on fan engagement, with FanFest planned at all Supercross rounds, where attendees can enjoy unique access to the sport’s biggest stars and their machines. This festival-like experience allows fans to soak up the atmosphere while watching practice and qualifying, enhancing the overall racing experience.
