Overview
The SMX LeagueTM announces the full 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship regular season schedule and tickets on sale for all 17 rounds of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
The 17-race Supercross schedule is poised to visit 16 different cities spread across 13 states, from California and Arizona to Ohio and Pennsylvania. New to the schedule this season is a stop at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio for the first time in over 30 years. After a brief hiatus, stops in Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium and Nashville, Tennessee at Nissan Stadium, return.
The biggest stars in the sport will be lining up at the Anaheim Opener in January as the 450SX Class once again promises to deliver one of the deepest fields in recent memory. Five past champions – Jason Anderson, Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, defending Supercross champion Cooper Webb, and defending SMX World Champion Jett Lawrence (Australia) will be fighting for another title. Vying for their first crack at the crown will be top contenders Hunter Lawrence (Australia, SMX World Championship and Pro Motocross runner-up), Ken Roczen (Germany), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Justin Cooper, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, and Justin Barcia each of whom are former champions, race winners, and podium finishers.
Teams will decide later in the year which athletes will be competing in each respective 250SX Class Divisional Championship, but fans can expect some epic battles as 2026 will feature the return of defending Western Division Champion and 250 Class Pro Motocross Champion, Haiden Deegan and runner-up finishers on the East and West, Seth Hammaker and Julien Beaumer. Defending SMX World Champion Jo Shimoda is still seeking his first Supercross and Pro Motocross championships and will be in hot pursuit of those titles in 2026. Not to be forgotten, seasoned veterans Jordon Smith, Cameron McAdoo, Levi Kitchen, Austin Forkner, Max Anstie (U.K.), Chance Hymas and Nate Thrasher are all in the conversation for wins and championships in either division.
