As is tradition, the Monster Energy Supercross season will begin in California at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on Saturday, January 7. Angel Stadium and the city of Anaheim have become synonymous with the start of the Supercross season as the venue has hosted 31 season openers, the most of any venue in the sport. A second visit to Angel Stadium will come on Saturday, January 28 with stops in Oakland and San Diego in between. The San Diego round will take place at San Diego State University’s brand-new Snapdragon Stadium. The intimate, up close and personal setting will provide a unique fan experience being so close to the action.

Returning to the schedule in 2023 will be stops in Houston, Texas on Saturday, February 4 at NRG Stadium, Tampa, Fla. on Saturday, February 11 at Raymond James Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, April 22 at MetLife Stadium, and Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday, April 29 at Nissan Stadium, all of which have been on a rotating schedule for the past several years.  

The Supercross season will conclude on Saturday, May 13 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City where we will once again crown a Supercross World Champion. Utah – the state of sport, has developed into a fitting destination for the final round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship as it has become home to many elite, world-class sporting events. Athletes and fans alike have become accustomed to the offtrack, outdoor activities the state has to offer.  

Storylines abound for the 2023 Supercross season as the 450SX Class continues to feature some of the most talented athletes the sport has ever seen. Three Supercross champions will be competing for another title – 2-time defending Supercross World Champion and ESPY award winning Eli Tomac, 2-time world champion Cooper Webb and 2018 world champion Jason Anderson as both a domestic and international “who’s who” list of competitors vie for their first title – Marvin Musquin (France), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Chase Sexton, Adam Cianciarulo, Malcolm Stewart, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, and Christian Craig, all from America.

The 250SX Class will see the return of Australian super-star and 2022 Eastern Regional Champion, Jett Lawrence, and his brother, Hunter Lawrence (Western Regional runner-up) while Japanese stand out Jo Shimoda and Americans Cameron McAdoo, RJ Hampshire, Austin Forkner, and Michael Mosiman all seek their first title. After finding success in the MXGP series, France’s Tom Vialle will be a new international addition to the Monster Energy AMA 250SX Class Championship. Vialle is a 2-time MX2 Class Champion.

Round 6 in Tampa, Fla. on Saturday, February 11 will serve as Military Appreciation night, honoring U.S. service members while Round 14 in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, April 22 will serve as the fourth iteration of This Race Saves Lives in honor of the kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Supercross enters its sixth year of partnership with St. Jude after recently surpassing $1 million raised in support of the fight against childhood cancer.

Monster Energy Supercross, The Official Videogame 5 released last spring, brought back the classic track editor feature where gamers create their own in-game track designs. For the second year in a row, Milestone, the video game maker, conducted the popular Track Editor Contest from April through June where the winning prize was to bring one virtual track design to life during the 2023 championship. Round 11 in Seattle will be inspired by the winning design from the video game track editor contest. 

Four Supercross events will also serve as Premier qualifying rounds for the Supercross Futures AMA National Championship. Athletes competing in the 250SX Futures Class will be awarded points towards their pro Supercross license based on their finishing positions at these Premier qualifying events. Fans will again be able to preview the next generation of talent as part of the Saturday Supercross race-day schedule.

FanFest is currently planned for all rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross season except Detroit, Mich. (Round 10). The expansive outside footprint features first and foremost, unprecedented access to the sport’s biggest stars with an up-close and intimate view of their race bikes and team rigs.

FanFest, an event within itself also features Monster Energy exhibitions, a Monster Energy Supercross – the Official Video Game 6 display where fans can play the game, an interactive FLY Racing pump track for the little ones, sponsor displays, photo opportunity set ups, plus food and beverages. As the name implies FanFest is a festival for the fans and has become a major part of the Supercross experience where fans can jump back and forth between the paddock and the stadium to also watch practice and qualifying. 

For the seventh year, the BMX Triple Challenge will return as a marquee event within FanFest and will feature some of the best BMX Freestyle riders in the world. The BMX Triple Challenge will take place at Round 4 in Anaheim, Calif., Round 12 in Glendale, Ariz., and a third location to be named later.

Fitting for the Anaheim Season Opener, FanFest will also include the eSX eSport Championship Finals, Presented by Yamaha. Thousands of competitors have been competing for the past several months and it all comes down to this event taking place live at Anaheim 1 FanFest. Fans in attendance will be able to watch live as the nine finalists compete for the grand prize – a Yamaha Monster Energy YZ450F (1), a Yamaha YZ125 (2), and a Yamaha TT-R110E (3).

This past offseason, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship became part of the 31-event SuperMotocross World Championship^TM that also includes the AMA Pro Motocross Championship. The overseeing entity, the SuperMotocross League, will unify the unique elements of the two seasons—athletes, race teams, sponsors, organizers, and most importantly the fans—and combine the best of both forms of racing: the profound technical skill and precision needed to excel in Supercross, and the sheer speed and endurance required for success in Pro Motocross. This new form of racing is defined by what will become the world’s most challenging tracks—designed to test athletes both physically and mentally. Race teams and manufacturers will be faced with the new challenge of finding the right balance in their bike and suspension set ups, one that is best suited for combined stadium and outdoor track elements. As a result, fans’ perceptions will be challenged when they watch the world’s best racers compete on a track requiring a new, combined skillset to win.

After the Monster Energy AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross seasons conclude, the SuperMotocross World Championship will feature a two round playoff and then SuperMotocross World Championship Final that seeds the top 22 racers (both classes) in combined points from both championships, for one final contest.
