WSX confirms 2026 calendar as the series makes November return to Australia
With locations confirmed across five continents and another round to be announced at a later date, the 2026 season will continue to deliver world‑class racing to key international markets while expanding its global footprint.
The season will begin in Calgary, Canada, at the McMahon Stadium on 8 August, a new destination for World Supercross, but this marks a return to the nation for a third consecutive year. Canada has developed a strong connection to the championship, making it a fitting location to open the season within a carefully selected window that aligns with the wider supercross and motocross calendar, while maintaining a continued presence in North America.
From there, the championship heads to Birmingham, United Kingdom, on 10 October, marking its return to the UK for the first time since 2023. Alexander Stadium will host the European round, drawing on the UK’s rich motorsport heritage and strong dirt bike culture.
The championship will then travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 24 October, returning to one of its most passionate fanbases. Last year’s debut in the city was a standout moment on the calendar, and its fans are set for another night of elite supercross action.
World Supercross will also return to Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast, Australia, on 21 November, reaffirming the championship’s commitment to a nation with dirt bike culture and high-intensity racing at its core. The Australian GP has delivered some of the most competitive and memorable moments in recent seasons, and fans can expect more this year.
The championship will then return to South Africa after a highly successful inaugural round last season at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium. The final venue and date will be announced soon, further reinforcing the organisation’s dedication to supporting the sport’s growth across Africa.
A sixth round will be announced at a later date, completing the full 2026 calendar.
Tom Burwell, CEO of World Supercross, said: “This announcement is the next step in building our biggest season yet. Returning to strong markets like Canada, Argentina, South Africa and Australia highlights how these GPs have grown year on year, while bringing the championship back to the UK is something fans have been asking for. With another round still to be revealed, there is even more to come”
Antonio Alia Portela, FIM Motocross Commission Director, said: “World Supercross continues to demonstrate its global ambition and elite standard of racing. The 2026 calendar announced so far reflects a strong balance of established markets and world-class destinations, and we look forward to seeing the full calendar confirmed soon.”
Team and rider announcements will be shared in the build‑up to the opening round, over the coming months.
