Canada has confirmed its roster of Dylan Wright (Open), Sebastien Racine (MXGP), and Dylan Rempel (MX2), with the squad aiming to return to the top ten standings. In a major development, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing and Yamaha Motor USA have withdrawn from the event, citing the demanding SMX series schedule and high travel and support costs. This means star riders Haiden Deegan and Justin Cooper will not compete for Team USA on Yamaha machinery.

Italy has selected a young squad of Andrea Adamo, Ferruccio Zanchi, and Andrea Bonacorsi, while Estonia has named Jörgen-Matthias Talviku, Harri Kullas, and Sebastian Leok, targeting a top ten finish.
