Spanning five continents, this year’s schedule promises to be bigger than ever and continues to underline the Championship’s worldwide footprint and its taking World Supercross to new destinations.
The Championship opens in Calgary, a new location on the schedule, as McMahon Stadium will host the opening round on 8th August—the Canadian GP. Set against an iconic backdrop, with the Rocky Mountains visible beyond the stadium, the kick-off event for this season’s calendar promises to be an action-packed curtain raiser.
The race marks the return to Canada for the third successive year, while the early August date is also another first for World Supercross, as fans will get their first look at how the field stacks up in 2026 and where early momentum might begin to build.
Round two marks a significant moment on the calendar as World Supercross returns to Birmingham. For UK fans, it’s an opportunity to see the championship up close in a country with a long-standing passion for motorsport. The Alexander Stadium, the largest athletics stadium in the United Kingdom, will host the British GP on 10th October.
The race is important for motocross fans, as it marks a return to the sport’s origins, which can be tracked back to the early 1900s, as World Supercross brings back the current stars.
The third round sees the championship return to Buenos Aires, a venue that quickly established itself as a standout on the calendar. The Argentine fans played a major role in creating an electric atmosphere to kick off last season as Haiden Deegan made his 450 and international debut.
That energy is expected to return on 24th October, where the iconic Oscar and Juan Gálvez will again host the vibrant Buenos Aires City GP.
From South America, the series moves to Australia for round four on the Gold Coast. The Cbus Super Stadium will host the Australian GP on 21 November, reaffirming the commitment to a country with a strong dirt bike racing culture.
The Gold Coast round delivered one of the most memorable races of the 2025 season, setting expectations for another competitive night in 2026 as the battle for the title closes in. Supercross fans on Australia’s East Coast cannot miss this special event.
A return to South Africa after last year’s highly successful inaugural race in the DHL Stadium in Cape Town, set at the foot of the iconic Table Mountain.
This season’s location and date are set to be announced, so fans in South Africa can sign up to keep informed. Last year’s race was the season finale and served up some memorable highlights.
A sixth round will be announced at a later date, completing the full 2026 calendar, as this season’s World Supercross goes bigger than before.
One of the defining features of the 2026 calendar is its global spread. With rounds in North America, Europe, South America, Australia and Africa, the championship continues to expand its reach and connect with fans across different regions.
Each stop brings its own character, while the track offers a unique challenge, and that variety plays a role in shaping the outcome of the season. Riders are tested not just on their speed, but on their ability to adapt to different conditions and environments.
For fans following the series, it creates a season that feels dynamic and unpredictable, with each round offering something slightly different.
With the calendar now confirmed, the focus shifts towards the riders, teams, and rivalries that will define the Championship. Early rounds will set the tone, mid-season races will build the pressure, and the final stretch will determine who can deliver when it matters most. One strong result can shape a Championship, but one mistake can just as quickly change it.
