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. 

In the 250SX Class fans can also 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.
