Where to find the official Monster Energy Supercross schedule
The official Monster Energy Supercross schedule is published on the AMA Supercross website (amasupercross.com) and the official Supercross social media accounts. The schedule typically releases in the summer before the racing season begins, usually in July or August. You can view the full calendar there, including dates, venues, and ticket information for each round.
The schedule runs from January through May each year, with races held primarily on Saturday nights. Most rounds take place in major arenas across North America, though the exact venues and order can shift year to year. The opening round is traditionally held in Anaheim, California, and the season concludes with the Las Vegas finale.
You can also find the schedule through official Supercross social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), where updates about postponements, venue changes, or ticket sales are posted first. Many venues post their own event pages with local parking and entry information once the schedule is confirmed.

How the Supercross season is structured
Monster Energy Supercross is divided into 17 rounds across the season, each held at a different venue. Every round features the same format: practice sessions on Friday, may have access to and heat races on Saturday afternoon, and the main events on Saturday night. The 450SX class (the premier division for larger bikes) and the 250SX class (for smaller bikes and younger riders) race on the same night but in separate main events.
Each rider earns points based on their finishing position in the main event. The rider with the most points at the end of the season is crowned the champion. Some rounds are designated as "Triple Crown" events, where three separate main events are held in one night instead of the traditional single main event, and points are awarded for each race.
The schedule alternates between East and West regions for the 250SX class, meaning some riders compete in the Eastern rounds (typically January through March) while others race the Western rounds (typically February through April). The 450SX class races all 17 rounds as a single series.
Reading the schedule and planning your attendance
When you look at the official schedule, each round lists the date, venue name, city, and state. The schedule also shows which class races are happening that night—most rounds feature both 450SX and 250SX, but some 250SX rounds are exclusive to either the East or West region. Check the schedule carefully if you want to see a specific rider, because they may only race certain regional rounds.
Ticket prices vary by venue and how close the event date is. Tickets purchased weeks in advance are typically cheaper than same-week purchases. Most venues offer different seating levels—general admission, club seating, and premium suites—each at different price points. You can usually purchase tickets directly through the venue's website or through Ticketmaster.
Arrive early on race day. Gates typically open in the afternoon, and the pits (the area where teams work on bikes) are often open to spectators before the races begin. This is when you can see the riders and teams up close. The main events usually start in the evening, with the 250SX main event first and the 450SX main event last.
How to track live results and standings
Live scoring during races is available on amasupercross.com and through the official Supercross mobile app. Both show real-time lap counts, rider positions, and timing data as the race happens. If you cannot attend in person, you can watch live coverage through traditional television broadcasts or streaming services that carry Supercross events.
The championship standings are updated after each round and posted on the official website. Standings show each rider's total points, how many rounds remain, and the point gap between the leader and other top contenders. This helps you understand the championship battle as the season progresses.
Social media accounts for individual riders, teams, and the Supercross series itself post highlights, behind-the-scenes content, and commentary throughout the season. Following these accounts keeps you informed about injuries, bike problems, or other developments that affect the schedule or a rider's participation.
What to expect at a live Supercross event
A Supercross race night is loud, fast, and intense. The track is an indoor dirt course built inside an arena, with jumps, berms, and obstacles that change the racing line constantly. Races last between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the class and format. The 250SX main event typically runs about 20 minutes, while the 450SX main event runs closer to 30 minutes.
Bring earplugs or expect significant noise from the bikes and crowd. The arena fills quickly, especially for popular rounds or when a local rider is competing. Parking can be limited, so arriving early helps. Most venues have concessions, but prices are high—bringing your own food and drinks (where allowed) saves money.
Weather is not a factor since races are indoors, but the arena can get hot and crowded. Wear comfortable clothing and bring water. If you have young children, know that the noise level can be overwhelming for small kids, and some venues have family sections with slightly reduced noise or better sightlines.
Schedule changes and how to stay updated
Supercross schedules occasionally change due to arena availability, weather affecting construction, or other unforeseen circumstances. When changes happen, they are announced through amasupercross.com first, followed by social media posts and press releases. Venues also update their own websites and ticketing systems when ready.
If you have already purchased tickets and a round is postponed or moved, most venues honor your tickets for the rescheduled date or offer refunds. Check the venue's refund policy when you buy tickets. Some venues are more flexible than others, so read the fine print.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Monster Energy Supercross season start and end?
The season typically runs from January through May, with 17 rounds total. The opening round is usually held in Anaheim, California, in early January, and the season finale is held in Las Vegas in May. The exact dates shift slightly each year, so check the official schedule for the current season's specific dates.
Can I watch Supercross online if I cannot attend in person?
Yes. Live coverage is broadcast on television and through streaming services that carry motorsports events. Check your local listings or the official Supercross website for broadcast information. Live scoring and highlights are also available on amasupercross.com and the official mobile app.
Do I need to buy tickets in advance or can I buy them at the gate?
Tickets are usually available at the gate, but advance purchases are cheaper and may provide entry. Popular rounds or events near major cities can sell out, so buying ahead is safer. Most venues use Ticketmaster or their own websites for advance sales.
What is the difference between 450SX and 250SX classes?
The 450SX class features larger bikes and is the premier division where the top professional riders compete. The 250SX class uses smaller bikes and is for younger riders and those working their way up. Both classes race on the same night but in separate main events, and both are part of the championship series.
Are pit passes available so I can get close to the riders and teams?
Most venues allow general spectators into the pits during practice and before the races start, though this access is free and not a separate "pit pass." Some venues offer premium pit access or VIP experiences for an additional fee. Check the specific venue's website for what pit access is included with your ticket level.
