The SuperMotocross World Championship continues with the opening round of the 2026 Pro Motocross season as the gladiators of dirt track tackle the outdoor tracks on Saturday, May 30, at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. Watch it live at 4:00 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv. NBC will air an encore performance on Sunday at 12 p.m. ET on NBC.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
Jett Lawrence returns this week in the 450 class after missing the entire Supercross season with a severe ankle injury. He says he is not 100 percent, but with a perfect record at Pala in both on both the 250 and 450, he is still a favorite to win.
Haiden Deegan makes his much-anticipated debut in the 450 class after successfully defending his 250 Supercross West title. He hopes to both follow in and fill Lawrence’s shoes by winning in his big bike career debut.
The 250 division is wide open with Deegan moving up a class. The winner of the opening round has gone on to score the championship in each of the past seven seasons. That is something in the front of Levi Kitchen and Seth Hammaker’s minds this week. They both finished second in their respective Supercross coastal divisions.
The 2026 Supercross East champion, Cole Davies, will have something to say about that, however.
For those who live outside California: All 31 rounds of the SuperMotocross season will be streamed live on Peacock.tv.
