2027 SMX World Championship Schedule Revealed: Supercross, Motocross, and SMX Playoffs - Racer X

Ridgedale, MO SMX World Championship FinalMonster Energy SuperMotocross World Championship Okay that’s a wrap on the 2026 SMX season. Goes by pretty quick, right? We’re into year four of this new three-race “playoffs” (where no one gets eliminated) and in my opinion there’s probably been more misses than hits with this thing but at least 2026 ended on somewhat of a good note with the first-ever event held at the Thunder Ridge arena somewhere near the Ozark Mountains. After the pretty much disastrous Columbus and L. A. rounds where no one was really happy with the venues or the racing, the new venue was cool, the track was back to being a true SMX track and the vibes were high. Was the racing great? No, it wasn’t, as the track didn’t offer enough passing opportunities, it was really fast while you were turning and everything led you to the main line. The 180’s before and after the triple offered the best spots to try and get by. Other than that, it was going to be very tough to make a move. I thought the track looked cool on Friday and fun to ride. Then it turned out not fun to race, due to the passing.

The 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship has come to an abrupt end. World Supercross announced on October 7 that the remainder of the season has been canceled effective immediately, bringing the championship to a close earlier than originally planned. The announcement means the remaining stops on the 2026 WSX calendar will no longer take place. The planned rounds in Buenos Aires, South Africa, the Gold Coast in Australia and Christchurch, New Zealand, have effectively been removed from the schedule as the championship shuts down operations for the remainder of the year. According to World Supercross, the decision comes while the organization remains in advanced discussions with potential investors regarding the future of the series. Rather than continuing with the remaining events while those negotiations are ongoing, the decision was made to conclude the 2026 championship immediately.
