2024 Monster Energy Supercross Championship Schedule & Details

The 2024 Monster Energy Supercross Championship schedule was announced as part of last weekend, a seventeen-round tour that will hit sixteen cities in fourteen states over nineteen weeks for a venue-to-venue journey that will total 18,185 road miles.

As usual, the series will start the first Saturday of the year and spend January going up and down the coast of the Golden State, a round-trip that circles from Angel Stadium in Anaheim to Oracle Park on the San Francisco side of the Bay, down to Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego’s Mission Valley, and back to Orange County.

February will be a cross-country run from California to Michigan and back to Arizona for round five at Ford Field in Detroit and round six at State Farm Stadium in Glendale before an early weekend off. “There’s nobody that wants to go cross-country less than us. We have twenty-two trailers that we’re moving back and forth, so it’s not easy,” said Feld Entertainment’s Mike Muye, Director of Operations for Supercross, during his segment on Matthes’ PulpMX Show Monday night.

“We spend painstaking hours working with our routing and tours departments (at Feld) and with the venues to get the best possible routing, because it does make a difference,” he continued.

Sharing resources with Monster Jam, a Feld Entertainment production that runs five tours at once, including two that are billed as the East-West championships and hit twelve of the same venues as Supercross, is a massive help to the motorsports department of the company.

Between Supercross and Monster Jam, Feld Entertainment events will run at the same locations on consecutive weekends seven times in 2024 (all three California rounds, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Empower Field at Mile High in Denver).

Monster Jam will roll into Detroit in February as well, but the two-night appearance of the “Stadium West” division doesn’t happen until three weeks later (February 24-25) and follows their own cross-country haul from Anaheim the weekend prior.

Why make the haul if the same building isn’t booked back-to-back weekends?

“We had an opportunity for network television, and we had to flip Glendale and Detroit, and it’s for the greater good,” Muye justified. “That’s what really what that decision came down to, trying to get more eyeballs on the sport. Even though it is a pain point for us and everybody, it’s overall better.”

The five-year agreement with NBC to show every lap of Supercross, Pro Motocross, and SuperMotocross through its Peacock streaming service, plus scheduled programming on standard television channels, will continue to be a tremendous influence in the future of the sport. It made the multi-million dollar purse paid out over the last few weeks possible, and as the man in charge of all the setup for every Supercross round explained, a live broadcast time slot on network television is enough to determine where the rigs go when.

The re-route is one of many changes that will be made to make the most of the television package. As part of an effort to grow Supercross audiences watching on NBC, Feld Entertainment has adjusted the timetable for the 2024 season so that the Heat Races and Main Events always occur during the primetime television viewing hours for fans in the Eastern/Central time zones, regardless of where the race is happening.

In the case of Anaheim One/Seattle/Denver, opening ceremonies will now begin at 4:30 PM PT and racing at 5:00 PM PT, while San Francisco/San Diego Anaheim Two will start at 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM.

As for Detroit and the over-the-air broadcast on NBC that merits a 4276-mile, 66-hour east-west-east drive? Ford Field will open at 8:00 AM EST for the eager fans who want to watch practice, with the first fireworks going off at 2:30 PM ET and the gate dropping on the 250 Heat One at 3:00 PM ET.

Further details about the 2024 schedule, including the track maps, dates for the Triple Crowns format and Supercross Futures, and determination of the 250 East-West divisions, will be used to hype the early access ticket sale, which begins on October 3rd through Ticketmaster.
