The 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs are officially here, with the opening round set to take place at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. After seventeen rounds of Supercross and eleven rounds of Pro Motocross, the points have been reset and the focus now shifts to the three-round SMX postseason. Columbus will be the first opportunity for riders to establish themselves before the championship moves to Carson, California, and eventually the finale in Ridgedale, Missouri.
The SMX format brings together elements of both Supercross and motocross, creating a track that will test everything the riders have built throughout the season. With only three rounds deciding the championship, mistakes become increasingly costly and every position matters. The 250 and 450 classes are loaded with talent, and with several major storylines already developing before the gate even drops, Columbus is set to kick off an unpredictable SMX postseason.

We are proud to have our own app, built in-house by MXA’s Justin Lee. We love the camaraderie that is created amongst family and friends who play it, and we believe in it so much that we decided to throw some extra motivation into the pot for 2026. This Grand Prize will be randomly selected after the Las Vegas SMX Finale from a list of names of the people who were consistent and diligent enough to enter their picks on time for every race, all season long.
The Giant Bicycles Trance X2 mountain bike will go to the player who has the most points at the end of the 31-round 2026 SuperMotocross season.
As usual, the MXA Fantasy League app is free to download and free to play. In addition to the Stark Varg, we will still be rewarding the top finishing players with weekly prizes, and with a brand new Giant Bicycles Trance X2 Mountain Bike, going to the player with the most points at the end of the 31-race season. Find your flow on the mountain with the Giant Trance X2 (the one we’re giving away is Metallic Black, as pictured). This bike has adjustable geometry, the option to change rear wheel size, and it comes with a new 140mm Maestro rear suspension setup. This versatile trail bike is ready to conquer single-track with confidence and control, and it is perfect for cross-training for motocross.
