The AUSX Supercross Championship Expands to Five Rounds in 2026
Summary By: eMotoX
The AUSX Supercross Championship is set to expand to five rounds in its 2026 season, signalling a significant development for the series. The championship will commence on October 3 in Queensland and conclude on November 28 in New South Wales. Notably, the calendar will feature the return of events in Western Australia and New Zealand, regions that have been absent from the series for several years.
Western Australia will host a round in Perth for the first time since 2009, while New Zealand will rejoin the championship schedule after a seven-year hiatus, last hosting a round in 2019. These additions reflect the organisers’ commitment to broadening the sport’s reach and reconnecting with fans in key markets. The inclusion of these locations is expected to rejuvenate interest and provide fresh challenges for competitors.
AUSX CEO Adam Bailey emphasised the importance of these returns, describing them as “huge moments” for both the sport and its supporters. He highlighted the enthusiasm from fans who have long awaited the championship’s comeback to these regions. The expansion is seen as a strategic move to enhance the profile and accessibility of supercross across Australasia.
Sponsorship continuity has also been confirmed, with Boost Mobile maintaining its role as title sponsor and Monster Energy continuing as the presenting partner. This stability in commercial backing is likely to support the championship’s growth ambitions and ensure a well-funded and professionally managed series. The 2026 calendar promises a dynamic season with a broader geographic footprint and renewed excitement for the sport.
