With the AMA Pro Motocross Championship decided, the focus now shifts to the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship. Now in its fourth running, the SMX puts the combined best of the Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross season in a three-round playoff for the ultimate bragging rights.
Supermotocross incorporates the results from 17 rounds of Supercross racing, 11 rounds of Pro Motocross, to seed the three-round playoffs. Here's what you need to know heading into the first playoff round, September 12 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
Qualifying runs on a combined points tally accrued through both the Supercross and Pro Motocross seasons. The top 20 in combined points in each of the 450 and 250 divisions automatically qualify and are seeded into the SMX field. An additional two spots are decided by a Wild Card race featuring riders that placed 21st through 30th. Any racer outside the top 30 who won a Supercross Main Event or a Pro Motocross moto is also eligible to contest the Wild Card race.
Once the seeding is decided, the riders' season-long points are reset going into the playoffs. The top seed restarts with 25 points, the second seed with 22, third with 20, fourth with 18, then single-point steps down through the 20th seed who starts with 2 points. Anyone outside the top 20 begins the playoffs at zero.
Playoff 1 uses the same structure as a regular Supercross or Pro Motocross race, with 25 points for first, down to 1 point for 21st. Playoff 2 pays double points and the SMX World Championship Final pays triple. As a result, the format keeps the ***** le live until the last round.

The roster for the 2026 Motocross of Nations Team USA roster was announced on Press Day for the Pro Motocross finale at Ironman Raceway, and it features Chance Hymas in the MXGP class, Levi Kitchen in MX2, and the veteran Cooper Webb in the Open class.
"They're going to do a great job," said Mike Pelletier, Director of Racing. "I think these three bleed red, white and blue, to be honest with you. And they've been pounding on the door for a long time. They've been riding great this season. It's time to show them what the world knows again in France."
Hymas will lead the charge in the premiere class.
"I've been on Mike's door for a long time wanting to do this," Hymas said. "It's been a dream since I was a little kid, but very thankful to be going across the call with these guys. I think we have a really good team, honestly, and I'm excited for the challenge. Never been overseas. Definitely a lot of new culture shocks coming up."

One final race will determine the Pro Motocross Championship in Round 11 of the outdoor series, Round 28 of the SuperMotocross League, as Hunter and Jett Lawrence take their brother against brother battle to not-so-bitter end on Saturday, August 29, at Ironman Raceway in in Crawfordsville, Indiana, at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
This is perhaps the friendliest battle SuperMotocross has ever seen as the Lawrences remain the closest of brothers through several championship battles that have come down to the wire.
Only one point separates the two and if they finish as they normally do, with results of first or second, this is a winner-take-all battle. But Jorge Prado, Haiden Deegan, and perhaps even Eli Tomac have the potential to win one or both motos and change the math. If they end with the same number of points, Hunter has the tiebreaker.

MECHANICSVILLE, Maryland: Lachlan Turner overcame a poor start and charged forward to win her seventh moto of the 2026 season at Budds Creek MX Park in Round 5 of the WMX season.
Turner was well outside the top 10 on the opening lap, but as has been true to form this season, she overcame the disappointing start quickly. She moved into fifth on Lap 1, was third on Lap 2, and took the lead from her principle rival, Charli Cannon, during Lap 4.
From that point on, Turner's victory was uncontested as Turner lengthened the gap in each of the final four laps.
Cannon finished second to keep her perfect streak of top-fives alive and her near perfect record of podium finishes. The winner of Moto 2 in High Point, a victory that also contributed to her overall victory, Cannon has only one result worse than third in nine motos.
In a throwback to the 2025 season when these three riders consistently paced the field, Mikayla Nielsen finished third. She opened the season with a sweep of the podium in the Hangtown Motocross Classic and then had a fuel pump problem in Round 2 at Thunder Valley. Nielsen rebounded to score another podium in Moto 2 that weekend, but struggled since and earned only one more podium in the last four motos.

Mayla Herrick entered the Women's Pro Motocross series with a lot of anticipation. Kept out of the field in the first two rounds because of her age, she debuted in the High Point National and won on her 17th birthday while the two riders who have dominated the ladies' series, Lachlan Turner and Charli Cannon, finished further down the running order than usual.
Turner was third in Moto 1; Cannon was fifth.
But Herrick did not have the opportunity to capitalize on her debut victory. She crashed in heavy traffic on the start of Moto 2, necessitating a red flag, and was carted off the track by the medical crew with a concussion.

NEW BERLIN, New York: Hunter Lawrence took the lead on Lap 1 and rode uncontested to the checkers and add three points on Jett Lawrence in the 2026 Pro Motocross championship. Hunter expanded his advantage to 15 points with five motos remaining.
Jett was pinched on the start and got a modest start in fourth. He made short work of Eli Tomac on the opening lap and set his sights on Haiden Deegan in second. On Lap 3, Deegan slammed the door on Jett, who attempted to take the inside groove away from the rookie. Jett fell to sixth, passed two riders quickly, and then renewed his battle with Deegan.
Jett took third away from Deegan on Lap 7. Until today, Jett Lawrence had never lost a moto at Unadilla.
Jorge Prado settled into second after passing Deegan on Lap 5, but he lost a ton of time in lapped traffic. Jett took the position from Prado with two laps remaining and salvaged two points.
Deegan earned his second holeshot of the season and led the opening lap. He nearly crashed at the beginning of the second lap, which allowed Hunter to take advantage.

The Pro Motocross Series heads to Washington this week as the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) continues with Round 25, Round 8 of the Pro Motocross season on Saturday, July 25, at Washougal MX Park in Washougal, Washington, at 4:00 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
The Lawrence brothers continue to swap the red plate, but after Jett's mid-race crash in Moto 2 of the Spring Creek National last week, Hunter has the largest lead of the season with a 10-point advantage. Jett cannot erase it at Washougal, but with two weeks off following this round, he needs to trim it at least by half.
Eli Tomac was not particularly strong last week in his return to racing after suffering a concussion in the Pro Motocross opener at Fox Raceway, but Washougal is a track on which he has never failed to score a podium finish in eight starts.

Round 25 of the SuperMotocross World Championship at Washougal (Wash.) MX Park, Round 8 of Pro Motocross, is important for Jett Lawrence. After losing focus last week in the second moto and crashing out of the lead, he now faces a 10-point deficit to the hottest rider on the circuit, his brother Hunter Lawrence.
This will be a good test of whether recent momentum or a rider's track record is most important.
This has not been a particularly good venue for Jett. It is not uncommon for Jett to have either swept a track during his four seasons on a 450, but he has only one win at Washougal. He was equally impressive on a 250, but he has only one win in that division as well.
Hunter's record is worse with no podiums in the 450 division and only two on a 250. He leads the league in holeshots with six, and it will take two more strong starts to contend this weekend.
That could prove beneficial for Haiden Deegan, who has four moto victories and two second-place finishes in six starts in the 250 division. This is his best opportunity to win his first 450 moto and if all goes well, perhaps even the overall. He won the 250 overall in 2024; last year, he lost to Jo Shimoda on the tie-breaker.

Max Anstie will join ClubMX for the remainder of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship and remain with the team through 2028. The announcement came 10 days after he announced the parting of ways with Monster Energy / Yamaha Star Racing.
"We're incredibly excited to welcome Max to ClubMX," said Brandon Haas, Owner of ClubMX in a news release. "I've always respected the way Max carries himself. He's a true professional and represents himself exactly the way you'd want someone to represent your organization. He's the kind of person who naturally raises the level of everyone around him, and I honestly don't believe we've seen the best version of Max yet."
The deal includes the 2026 SMX Playoffs. Anstie is currently 44 points above the cutoff line of 21st in combined Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross points. He has not raced in the outdoor series since a crash in the first moto at Fox Raceway in the season opener.
If he falls out of the top 20 in combined points, Anstie will be guaranteed a spot in the Last Chance Qualifiers for the three playoff rounds after winning the first race of the Supercross 250 West division at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
Anstie's role at ClubMX will be more than simply as a rider. Considering the youth of the majority of the team's riders, Anstie will provide mentorship.

The Pro Motocross Series reaches the halfway point and the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) continues with Round 23 of SMX, as the action gets underway Saturday, July 11, at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, at 1:00 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
Hunter Lawrence secured the red plate at RedBud by scoring his third overall victory to Jett Lawrence's two. Hunter has the momentum, but Jett has never been beaten at Southwick, which makes this one of the most interesting rounds of the middle stage of the 2026 season.
The Coenen brothers, Lucas and Sacha, return to America this week after making a huge splash in Colorado. Lucas finished second in both Thunder Valley motos in the 450 class; Sacha won Moto 2 in 250s there.

SOUTHWICK — For motocross fans around the world, Southwick will be at the center of their universe at 9 a.m. this Saturday, when the starting gate drops at The Wick 338 for the 45th running of The Crestview Construction Southwick National.
Many of the riders shooting for the holeshot out of the starting gate are some of the sport’s most high-profile superstars in motorcycle racing, including Australian siblings Jett and Hunter Lawrence, second-generation American phenom Haiden Deegan and Spanish world champion Jorge Prado.
Hunter Lawrence, who rides for Honda MRC Progressive, will be fresh off winning the overall in the 450SMX class at the RedBud National on July 4 in Michigan.
His 2-1 effort netted him a second straight win and class-leading third overall victory of the season, according to the Pro Motocross Championship.
Prado finished second at the RedBud in the 450 Class.

BUCHANAN, MI — The biggest pro motocross event every year takes place in southwestern Michigan.
When Independence Day weekend rolls around, there is only one thing on the minds of motocross fans and the people of Buchanan: RedBud. Thousands of people descend upon the track, celebrating the holiday weekend by watching the best pro moto racers in the world navigate the sport's defining track.

Within the complex are several places to watch the action. But which one of those is the best? We watched the races Saturday, July 4, 2026, Here's our thoughts.
Let's start at the beginning — literally. The starting gate is a cool spot if you want to see all the racers rev their engines and get going, with the first turn always being dramatic. Unfortunately, no more racing takes place there, so you need to move elsewhere to see the action.

Following the first off-week of the outdoor season, the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) continues with Round 5 of 2026 Pro Motocross, Round 22 of SMX, as the action gets underway Saturday, July 4, at RedBud MX in Buchanan, Michigan, at 1:00 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
Hunter Lawrence evened up the win total in the last outing at High Point Raceway, scoring his second overall to an uncharacteristically moderate Jett Lawrence, who finished a distant second in both races. The Lawrence brothers remain perfect with Jett scoring the other two wins.
Haiden Deegan reestablished his claim as the third-best rider by finishing third overall with results of fourth in Moto 1 and third in Moto 2. All three riders have experienced highs and lows at RedBud, so this could provide an opportunity for a new rider to emerge.

One point separates Jo Shimoda from Levi Kitchen in the battle for the 250 Pro Motocross championship, but for much of the middle stage of Moto 2 at High Point Raceway in Round 4, it appeared the defending SuperMotocross World Championship ***** list would leave Pennsylvania with the red plate.
The round began with focus on Kitchen and Seth Hammaker, a pair of Pro Circuit Kawasaki riders who shared the red plate before the motos began. Hammaker finished fifth in the first moto and briefly held the advantage over Kitchen, who finished sixth.
"I wasn't too concerned about it because coming into this race with me and Seth tied," Kitchen said following High Point. "I just wouldn't say this is one of my best tracks, so I'm okay with the day. It wasn't great, but if this is my bad day, then we can only go forward."
The 2026 250 Motocross championship has refused to be pigeonholed through four rounds. Each race has featured a different winner , and that has contributed to a lot of uncertainty in a season when the dominant rider, Haiden Deegan, have moved up to the premier class.
Cole Davies sweeps High Point to become the fourth 250 winner in four rounds
