2025 SuperMotocross tickets on sale, track maps revealed
Tickets for the 2025 SuperMotocross (SMX) Championship races are currently on-sale for SMX Priority Members and will go on sale to the general public beginning February 4, 2025 at SuperMotocross.com.
The three-round SuperMotocross Championship kicks off September 6 at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, followed by Round 2 at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 13, and concluding at The Strip at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway on September 20.
This will be the third time the playoffs have kicked off at zMax in the three-year history of the playoffs. This is the second time the series has concluded in Las Vegas, while St. Louis represents a new venue.
Jett Lawrence (450s) and Haiden Deegan(250s) are each two-time defending champions of the SMX Championship.
Additionally, the SuperMotocross League revealed track maps for the three venues.
zMax Dragway
2025 SuperMotocross Round 1, zMax Dragway
Feld Entertainment
Located near Charlotte Motor Speedway, zMax Dragway's layout takes advantage of the four-wide dragstrip and land adjacent to the track to create a massive layout. The track features a split lane that always creates excitement as the two lanes come together.
Lawrence won Round 1 in 2024 via a tiebreaker with Eli Tomac. Each rider won one of the two motos; Lawrence was successful in Race 2. Sweeping the two motos, Deegan won the 250 race over his principal 2025 rival, Julien Beaumer.
North Carolina is the East Coast destination for the SMX playoffs.
The Dome at America's Center
The Dome at America's Center will host its first SMX playoff race but has a long history of Monster Energy Supercross competition after hosting races since 1996.
The unique feature of this track is that it not only utilizes the full footprint of the stadium but will leave the floor and continue into the adjacent Exhibition Hall. This large footprint allows track builders to create a motocross-inspired course.
St. Louis represents the Midwest in the playoffs in 2025. Last year, this round was contested at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, with Hunter Lawrence (1-3) victorious in the 450 division and Deegan sweeping the 250 class once again.
The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Las Vegas was the host city of last year's SMX Playoff finale as dirt bike racing returned to a venue with deep roots in the sport.
Like zMax Dragway, the track boasts four dragstrip lanes, so track designers have plenty of room to create a unique course. That is where the similarity between the two tracks ends, however, with the course leaving the strip at the top, meandering behind a second set of grandstands, and continuing into the bottom of the layout.
Lawrence secured his second SMX title in style by sweeping the two 450 motos. In the 250 division, Pierce Brown earned his first series win with finishes of second and first in the two motos. Deegan won Moto 2 and finished second in the finale, which was more than sufficient to wrap up his title.
SMX Playoff Travel Packages
A variety of travel packages will be available to fans for the SMX World Championship Final. For accessibility, visit SMX World Championship Final Travel Packages for more details. Fans can purchase hotel and camping accommodations that include many ticketing and VIP experience options.

Craig Bellamy hopes longer training camp can help Wales extend unbeaten run
Wales hope to reap the benefit of an extended training camp for their World Cup qualifying double header after recognising June was where they came unstuck in their failed Euro 2024 campaign. Wales, who host Liechtenstein in Group J on Friday before facing Belgium on Monday, lost crunch matches against Armenia and Turkey in June 2023 before missing out on last summer's finals after a playoff defeat to Poland. Advertisement Wales had a four-day training camp before those June defeats but in January this year Craig Bellamy and his Wales staff planned to increase their preparations to enhance their fitness levels at the end of the season. Related: 'People think I have disappeared': Joe Morrell raring to go after 492 days out Wales organised a nine-day camp last month, half of which was at their Vale Resort base on the outskirts of Cardiff, the other half at the La Finca resort near Alicante, Spain, to prevent a physical drop-off across the team. Bellamy has said the number of squad members playing in the English Football League presents challenges, because the final games of the regular Championship season were on 4 May, more than a month before the visit of Liechtenstein to Cardiff, for which Wales will be without the Leeds winger Daniel James through illness. Advertisement Bellamy said such a long break is 'not acceptable' for international football and felt the training camp enabled his players' muscles not to 'shut down'. He said: 'It's not designed for international football so we have to interrupt their break but they [the players] completely understand because we need to keep them moving. We have been able to do that and I feel that has been beneficial, especially this week. I feel like we're in very good shape leading into this one. The Wales manager, who is unbeaten in eight matches since his first game last September, said Wales cannot afford to disrespect Liechtenstein, who are 205th in the Fifa rankings. 'Do I understand people looking past it [Friday's game]? Of course I do,' Bellamy said. 'Do I understand that people believe we should win? Of course I do. But I was up late last night, I didn't sleep. Does that tell you something? I treat every team the same. I've watched the same amount of Liechtenstein as I have of everybody else. 'I honestly believe if you disrespect the game, it will catch you out. The same messages have been fed to the players as well. We have to be us. Fight for every ball. Recovery runs. Reactions. We have to be consistent no matter who we're playing against. The top teams are the ones that are consistent.' Bellamy said his side must be patient in order to extend their unbeaten run. 'We have to enjoy it because that's how we get a chance to improve,' he added. 'No frustration, no highs and lows, no rollercoaster rides. We have to remain consistent. If we have to win this game in the 89th minute, we'll win it in the 89th minute.'

Why Leeds 'need to be studying opponents now'
[Getty Images] We asked for your questions for BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha on your Premier League club. Richard asked what the hardest parts of adapting to the Premier League are after securing promotion. In the Championship, the team with the best players will more often than not end up near the top of the league because there is such a disparity. Advertisement In the Premier League, every team has international players and they all have experience of being there. They all keep themselves in top shape, know ways to win, know ways to manage games and get over the line, and they are all coached really well. The Premier League is now a hotbed for the world's best coaches so the separation between managers is not as big as you find in the Championship. All established Premier League clubs have expectations and big budgets. The nature of the players, the facilities, the understanding, the belief - it all plays into it. With Leeds coming back up, I like that they have experienced it not long ago, and had a season when they stayed up. They have had a feel of being an underdog on a week-to-week basis and not being expected to win most matches. Advertisement Outside the Premier League, we sometimes focus on the teams at the top of the league, see how good they are and somewhat disregard the rest. In the top flight they are the top 20 teams in the country. You do not realise how good every side is until it is your club promoted and playing against them every week. On paper, the teams in the lower half have better players than the side just promoted with 100 points. Everyone in the Premier League is good and Leeds need to find a way to get points as quickly as possible. They also need to be studying opponents now. I guarantee teams will be studying them, and the games they are targeting to get points from will be tougher than they think. Nedum Onuoha was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward

Bristol tap into class divide in bid to shock ‘posh' rivals and title favourites Bath
When the Rugby Football Union launched its rebrand of the Championship last month, Henry Pollock was put front and centre, made the poster boy by virtue of his five loan appearances for Bedford Blues. You can hardly blame the union for trying to capitalise on the hype but there are better examples of players who epitomise the strengths of the second tier. None more so than James Williams, Bristol's inside-centre who at 28 has taken the road less travelled to the Premiership semi-finals. Williams began his career at Birmingham Moseley in National League One before moving to Hartpury. He joined Worcester in 2018 but managed just one appearance, signed with Sale a year later and appeared just three times and when Covid hit he was released by the Sharks. Advertisement Related: Club rugby needs a radical fix – but is R360 breakaway league the cure to its ills? | Andy Bull Soon Williams found himself arranging a return to Hartpury, all the while juggling a job renovating flats in Bristol. For 18 months Williams would set off for Gloucester at 5am, be on the training field at 7am until 8.30am before dashing back to begin work an hour later. In the 2021-22 campaign, he finished as the Championship's top points scorer and Pat Lam soon came calling. 'I actually honestly really enjoyed it,' says Williams. 'They were busy days, obviously you were a bit knackered but it's a testament to Hartpury and the programme they ran, it was very accommodating for the boys who worked. We had a few teachers in the squad and they had to leave at 8am so they'd shoot straight off. The rugby-work balance was pretty savage. 'The bottom line is that I love playing rugby. Even if I didn't make it to the Premiership, I'd still be playing rugby at whatever level for as long as possible. I always thought I'd keep going until something comes along, my dad would always say the cream rises to the top. Advertisement 'I've been doing a bit of coaching at Dings and they're National One and there is some raw talent out there. Boys are actually class and you think, 'you could be a Premiership player', but it's just having the opportunity and having the coaches who put a bit of time into you. I say it to the academy boys who got released last year, you just have to play rugby and as long as you're playing it and you're enjoying it, you're probably going to be playing quite well so just keep going with it.' Williams admits to suffering 'imposter syndrome' when first joining Bristol, arriving into a changing room filled with the kind of superstars that was once the Bears' calling card. In many ways, however, Williams typifies Bristol's move away from big-spending galaticos. Having spent much of his career at fly-half, he slots in seamlessly outside AJ MacGinty and allows Benhard Janse van Rensburg to do his thing in the No 13 channel. It helps to have firepower such as Gabriel Ibitoye outside him but Williams has thrived at Ashton Gate since Bristol opted to reprise their swashbuckling approach towards the end of last season. 'When I first came into the changing room it was like, crikey, there are some big names around me and Pat has given me the responsibility to drive these boys,' he adds. 'This year I feel like I've shaken that a little bit and people do listen to what I say and I if I can be a solid seven or eight out of 10 most weeks then I know the rest of the boys will be going pretty well outside me if I can just be solid and make good decisions on the ball.' Bristol sealed their semi-final trip to Bath on Friday night with a thumping win over Harlequins last Saturday. Results in April threatened to derail Bristol's season but victory over Bath in Cardiff - albeit against a second string side - put the Bears back on track. They head to the Rec as underdogs but Lam has been quick to point out that since their promotion to the Premiership in 2018 they have won 11 of their 14 matches against their rivals. Advertisement Bristol have not sold their full allocation of tickets with Lam again quick to stoke the flames, suggesting that Bath's 'huge' ticket prices for a stadium with sub-par facilities - 'Even my wife was keen to go and when I went to look at the tickets I said: 'Love, you don't want to get drenched in that rain' - was to blame. And evidently the Bears are tapping into the class divide that separates these two cities, just 12 miles apart. 'It is honestly bred into Bristolians about the fact that Bath, down the road, is seen as an upper class city and they're seen as being quite posh is probably the word,' says Williams. 'Bristolians are probably proud of the fact that they're not like that, it's a working class city and again that is in the blood of the Bristolian lads. When you come to this club everyone understands early on that Bristol v Bath is a humongous fixture, not just for rugby but for the wider communities in terms of what the cities represent. That definitely gets played on and you can see the passion within the boys, getting really emotional talking about it in the week and before the game.'
