Hey everyone, it's Paige Turner coming at you with the kind of news that makes me want to grab my passport and start packing! 🏁✈️

The FIM World Supercross Championship just dropped its 2026 schedule, and let me tell you—this thing is global. We're talking five continents. Six rounds (well, five confirmed and one mystery stop still cooking). This is the biggest, most ambitious calendar this series has ever put together, and I am absolutely here for it.

Let me break it all down for you because there are some juicy details tucked inside these dates that the casual fan might miss. But not me. Never me.

Round 1: Calgary, Canada – August 8

McMahon Stadium

The season kicks off north of the border, and this is a big shift. For the last two years, WSX has called Vancouver home. Now? They're heading to Calgary, and the timing is no accident. August 8 falls smack in the middle of that two-week breather in the AMA Pro Motocross schedule when everyone heads to Loretta Lynn's. You know what that means, right? The door is wide open for American stars to hop on a plane and chase some international glory without missing their day jobs.

Carson Ackroyd from Tourism Calgary said picking the city to host the opening round is a huge moment for them, and honestly? I believe it. New dirt, new stadium, new energy. I'm already curious who shows up.

Round 2: Birmingham, England – October 10

Alexander Stadium

Finally! The UK is back on the map! Fans over there have been begging for this, and WSX listened. The series hasn't touched British soil since 2023, but let's not forget—the UK hosted the very first World Supercross event ever back in 2022 in Cardiff. Eli Tomac swept that whole weekend. Pure domination.

This time the circus lands at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, the biggest athletics venue in the country. And check the calendar math: October 10 is after the SMX playoffs and after the Motocross of Nations. No excuses. No conflicts. Every top rider on the planet should be free and clear to line up. This could be the most stacked international gate we've seen all year.

Round 3: Buenos Aires, Argentina – October 24

Oscar and Juan Gálvez Racetrack

South America, baby! Buenos Aires made its WSX debut last year, and by all accounts, the place went absolutely bonkers. The fans? Loud. Passionate. The kind of energy that makes your chest vibrate when the bikes fire up. Organizers called it one of the most electric atmospheres on the entire calendar.

Oh, and a little history lesson for you: This is the track where Haiden Deegan made his 450cc international debut in 2025. That alone makes this round worth remembering. Year two is going to be even wilder.

Round 4: Gold Coast, Australia – November 21

Cbus Super Stadium

Australia stays locked in as a cornerstone of this championship, and for good reason. That country eats, sleeps, and breathes dirt bikes. The 2025 Gold Coast round was one of the most talked-about races of the entire season—pure chaos, pure drama, pure supercross.

But here's the twist, and you know I love a good twist: November 21 lands on the exact same weekend as the legendary Paris Supercross. That means riders are going to have to choose. France or Australia. One or the other. This split decision could completely shake up the starting grids on both sides of the world. Who goes where? Who stays home? The rider carousel is about to get very interesting.

Round 5: South Africa – Date and City TBA

South Africa got its first taste of World Supercross in 2025 at DHL Stadium in Cape Town, and apparently it was a smash hit. So much so that the series is coming right back. The final details are still being ironed out—venue, exact date—but the commitment is there. This is about growing the sport across Africa, and honestly, I love seeing supercross stretch its legs into new territory.

Round 6: The Mystery Round – TBA

And then there's the wildcard. A sixth round is coming. Where? When? Nobody's saying yet. But the fact that they're holding one back tells me something big might be in the works. A new country? A returning favorite? I'll be keeping my ear to the ground on this one, trust me.

The Big Shots Weigh In

Tom Burwell, the CEO of World Supercross, put it plainly: "This announcement is the next step in building our biggest season yet. Returning to strong markets like Canada, Argentina, South Africa and Australia shows how these events keep growing. And 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."

And Antonio Alia Portela from the FIM backed it up, saying this calendar shows World Supercross wants to be a truly global sport with elite-level racing from start to finish.

What Comes Next

Now the real fun begins. The tracks are set. The dates are circled. But who's actually lining up? The rider and team announcements are going to start trickling out in the months ahead, and you better believe I'll be all over every single signing, rumor, and surprise entry.

The 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship is shaping up to be an absolute globe-trotting spectacle. Five confirmed stops, one mystery round, and a whole lot of unanswered questions.

I've got my passport ready. Notebook? Always. Microphone? Charged. This is going to be a season worth chasing.

Until those gates drop… stay pinned, stay curious, and keep the roost flying! 🏁🌍
