The 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship opened on 8 August 2026 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, marking the series’ first visit to the Canadian city. Reigning SX1 champion Jason Anderson and defending SX2 champion Max Anstie headlined the field, joined by riders such as Cooper Webb, Christian Craig, Cameron McAdoo and Dean Wilson.

The Calgary round launches a six‑round international calendar that will travel to Birmingham (UK) on 10 October, Buenos Aires (Argentina) on 24 October, the Gold Coast (Australia) on 21 November, an as‑yet‑unconfirmed venue in South Africa, and conclude on 5 December in Christchurch, New Zealand. Points earned in Calgary will shape the riders’ and teams’ championship battles for the rest of the season, giving early momentum to those who perform well in the Canadian Grand Prix.
