Tickets are on sale now for the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season. The series will be part of the new Super Motocross World Championship which three unique rounds will take place later in the year. Supercross though is still as you’d expect with the usual triple crowns and east-west showdowns back again for 2023. The triple crown rounds will also host the Supercross Futures events (along with the New Jersey round at Metlife Stadium). Below is the full press release and schedule for 2023.
Feld Motor Sports announced today tickets are on sale for all 17 rounds of the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season. Pre-sale begins today at 10 a.m. ET for preferred customers and will run through next Monday, October 17. Tickets will then become available to the public starting on Tuesday, October 18 at 10 a.m. ET and then 10 a.m. in each subsequent time zone. Fans can sign up for preferred access or make ticket purchases online at SupercrossLIVE.com.
The 17-race schedule, now a part of the 31-race SuperMotocross World ChampionshipTM schedule, will visit 16 cities spread across 12 states including California, Texas, Florida, Washington, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Colorado.
As is tradition, the Monster Energy Supercross season will begin in California at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on Saturday, January 7. Angel Stadium and the city of Anaheim have become synonymous with the start of the Supercross season as the venue has hosted 31 season openers, the most of any venue in the sport. A second visit to Angel Stadium will come on Saturday, January 28 with stops in Oakland and San Diego in between. The San Diego round will take place at San Diego State University’s brand-new Snapdragon Stadium. The intimate, up close and personal setting will provide a unique fan experience being so close to the action.
Returning to the schedule in 2023 will be stops in Houston, Texas on Saturday, February 4 at NRG Stadium, Tampa, Fla. on Saturday, February 11 at Raymond James Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, April 22 at MetLife Stadium, and Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday, April 29 at Nissan Stadium, all of which have been on a rotating schedule for the past several years.
The Supercross season will conclude on Saturday, May 13 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City where we will once again crown a Supercross World Champion. Utah – the state of sport, has developed into a fitting destination for the final round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship as it has become home to many elite, world-class sporting events. Athletes and fans alike have become accustomed to the offtrack, outdoor activities the state has to offer.
Storylines abound for the 2023 Supercross season as the 450SX Class continues to feature some of the most talented athletes the sport has ever seen. Three Supercross champions will be competing for another title – 2-time defending Supercross World Champion and ESPY award winning Eli Tomac, 2-time world champion Cooper Webb and 2018 world champion Jason Anderson as both a domestic and international “who’s who” list of competitors vie for their first title – Marvin Musquin (France), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Chase Sexton, Adam Cianciarulo, Malcolm Stewart, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, and Christian Craig, all from America.
The 250SX Class will see the return of Australian super-star and 2022 Eastern Regional Champion, Jett Lawrence, and his brother, Hunter Lawrence (Western Regional runner-up) while Japanese stand out Jo Shimoda and Americans Cameron McAdoo, RJ Hampshire, Austin Forkner, and Michael Mosiman all seek their first title. After finding success in the MXGP series, France’s Tom Vialle will be a new international addition to the Monster Energy AMA 250SX Class Championship. Vialle is a 2-time MX2 Class Champion.
Round 6 in Tampa, Fla. on Saturday, February 11 will serve as Military Appreciation night, honoring U.S. service members while Round 14 in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, April 22 will serve as the fourth iteration of This Race Saves Lives in honor of the kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
