2026 AMA Pro Motocross championship

Overview

The 2026 AMA Pro Motocross season has been defined by the rivalry between brothers Jett and Hunter Lawrence. After Jett returned from an ankle injury to win Race 1 at Hangtown, California, he and Hunter traded podiums, with Jett taking a double victory at Thunder Valley, Colorado, and moving into the overall lead with 138 points.

At High Point Raceway in Pennsylvania, Hunter responded with two dominant 450 SMX wins, cutting Jett’s advantage to two points heading into the summer break. The RedBud National in Michigan presented a wet‑to‑muddy sand‑track; despite lingering ankle issues, Jett finished third overall while Hunter claimed his third premier‑class victory, re‑establishing himself as the series’ front‑runner.

The next round at Southwick saw Jett clinch the overall win despite a foot that still felt only about 70 % recovered, helped by careful pacing and a new foot peg. Hunter suffered two sand‑track crashes – a chain‑lock and a shift‑into‑neutral error – and fell back in the results. The outcome restored Jett to the championship lead as the series moves toward its final events.

At the season‑closing West Coast round at Washougal MX Park, Washington, Hunter Lawrence secured the overall 450 victory, extending his points lead with a fifth win of the season. Jett Lawrence incurred a one‑position penalty for accelerating off the track in the second moto, dropping him to third in that race. Cole Davies swept both 250‑class motos to claim the class win and move back into contention, while Haiden Deegan earned his first 450‑class pole position in qualifying. The event marked the final contest of the Monster Energy SMX World Championship.
