The SuperMotocross World Championship (official name as AMA SuperMotocross Championship) is the premier combined discipline of American off-road motorcycle racing. Conceived in 2023 after the AMA Supercross Championship lost its FIM World Championship status, the series consists of the aforementioned Supercross series and the AMA Motocross Championship, followed by two playoff races and a final to determine the SuperMotocross world champion.
The AMA Supercross Championship (commercially known as Monster Energy AMA Supercross) is the premier American stadium motorcycle racing series. Founded by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) in 1974, the AMA Supercross Championship races are held from January through early May. Supercross is a variant of motocross which involves off-road motorcycles on a constructed dirt track consisting of steep jumps and obstacles; the tracks are usually constructed inside a sports stadium. The easy accessibility and comfort of these stadium venues helped supercross surpass off-road motocross as a spectator attraction in the United States by the late 1970s.
The sport of Supercross is best described as motocross racing that takes place within the confines of a sports stadium. The tracks are typically shorter in length than a standard motocross track. They feature a combination of man-made obstacles such as whoop sections (where riders skim along the tops of multiple bumps), rhythm sections (irregular series of jumps with a variety of combination options), and triple jumps (three jumps in a row that riders normally clear in a single leap of 70 feet or more). Many of the turns have banked berms, but some are flat. It takes roughly five hundred truckloads of dirt to make up a supercross track. Soil conditions can be hard-packed, soft, muddy, sandy, rutted, or any combination thereof.
The AMA Motocross Championship (commercially known as Pro Motocross Championship) is the American national outdoor motorcycle racing series. The motocross race series was founded and sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) in 1972. The series is the premier motocross competition in the United States and is sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing and managed by MX Sports Pro Racing.
The Series will be held from January until October, consisting of:
- 17 AMA Supercross Championship rounds (January–May)
- 11 AMA Motocross Championship rounds (May–September)
- 2 SuperMotocross Playoffs and a SuperMotocross World Championship Final
As of 2026 only the top 20 in the combined standing for the AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross Championship in the 250 and 450 class qualify for the SuperMotocross playoffs and are automatically qualified and seeded for each round of the SuperMotocross World Championship. Under the current format the points are reset based on the combined standings with the riders further up in the combined standings starting the SuperMotocross playoffs with more points than those lower down the standings.
Riders from 21st-30th in the end of season combined standings can also qualify for the main event of each event through a Last Chance Qualifier, with the top 2 from the qualifier competing in the main events with the seeded riders. The LCQ is also open to riders who won a supercross main event or motocross moto if they did not finish inside the top 30. If a seeded top 20 rider is unable to compete in an event, an additional opportunity to qualify will be given to riders in the LCQ.
The first playoff race awards regular points, while the second playoff race awards double points and the world championship race awards triple points.
SuperMotocross champions are crowned each year, alongside the champions of the individual series which will continue to be awarded.
