The FIM World Supercross Championship updates its five-round global schedule for 2025, spanning five continents.
The Malaysian round of the 2025 World Supercross Championship is off the schedule and Stockholm is added.
This is an updated from the FIM from October 3, 2025…
The 2025 FIM World Supercross Championship will make an exciting return to Europe this year, with Stockholm confirmed to host the Swedish GP on December 6.
World Supercross has updated the season calendar with the addition of Sweden following the withdrawal of Kuala Lumpur’s Stadium Merdeka as the season opener. While World Supercross is disappointed that the Malaysian promoter was unable to meet the requirements to host the opening round and secure an alternative venue, the inclusion of Sweden maintains a full five-round, five-continent schedule, while strengthening the series’ global presence.
The 2025 season will now begin in Buenos Aires on November 8, before visiting Vancouver on November 15, then the Gold Coast in Australia on November 29, followed by Stockholm December 6, and finally Cape Town for the season finale December 13.
Tom Burwell, Chief Executive Officer at World Supercross, said: “We are thrilled to confirm that our season will head back to Europe, and in particular to Sweden, a country with a passion for two-wheeled motorsport. The Swedish GP will be a fantastic addition to the Championship and the ideal setting for the penultimate round. We were let down at this late stage by the Stadium Merdeka, despite the significant time, investment, and commitment that went into bringing world-class supercross to Malaysia for the very first time. Thanks to the relentless work of our team and the backing of our partners, we’ve turned disappointment into momentum. Sweden completes a five-round Championship across five continents in 2025, ahead of what is shaping up to be our biggest season yet.”
Jorge Viegas, President of the FIM, said: “The World Supercross Championship continues to grow as a truly global competition, and we welcome the addition of Sweden to the 2025 calendar. While it is always unfortunate when local circumstances prevent an event from proceeding as planned, the resilience shown by World Supercross and its partners ensures that riders, teams, and fans will still enjoy an outstanding season across five continents. The FIM remains fully committed to supporting the Championship and its long-term success.”

This is a press release from the FIM from June 5, 2025…
The action kicks off on October 18 in Kuala Lumpur, at Stadium Merdeka, marking World Supercross’ first-ever round in Malaysia. This stop, promoted by Data Sukan Sdn Bhd, will set the stage for an electrifying season opener, showcasing the growing enthusiasm for supercross in Southeast Asia and spotlighting the increasing influence of the city on the global stage.
From there, the championship heads to Buenos Aires City, Argentina, on November 8 at the Autódromo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires Óscar y Juan Gálvez. With Argentina’s deep motorsport heritage, the round – promoted by EDV Entertainment – is set to delight the passionate fans in a nation steeped in motorsport history.
Next, World Supercross touches down in Vancouver, Canada, returning to North America at BC Place on November 15. Last year marked competitive supercross’ long-awaited return to the region for the first time in 20 years, and now Vancouver is set to deliver another night of high-energy atmosphere and spectacular racing.
On November 29, the championship heads Down Under for the Australian GP at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast, Australia. This marks a return to Australia, after a successful double-header in Perth last year. With Australia’s rich history in supercross and a passionate fanbase, the racing will deliver an unforgettable experience as World Supercross continues its strong presence in the country.
The 2025 season concludes with a historic South African GP in Cape Town on December 13 at the DHL Stadium. As World Supercross’ first-ever round in Africa, this milestone round – promoted by Showtime Management – marks the championship’s expansion into a new continent, bringing elite supercross competition to one of the world’s most vibrant sporting nations. As the season’s grand finale, where the 2025 World Supercross Champions will be crowned, the South African GP promises to be a dramatic and unforgettable conclusion to an incredible season of racing.
The 2025 season, the second under SX Global management, also marks the launch of a fresh new look for World Supercross – reflecting what makes it stand out as the only Supercross championship that takes the sport around the world. At the heart of the rebrand is a curved, globe-inspired logo – a shape that reflects the international scale of the series and the millions of dirt bike fans worldwide.
The tough, edgy new “W” takes its cues from the rugged design of supercross tyres. It’s a mark built to represent the grit, energy, and momentum of the sport. Fans will see this new identity come to life throughout the season – across visuals, photography, digital platforms, and at rounds around the world.
Tom Burwell, CEO of SX Global, said: “The 2025 calendar is a defining moment for World Supercross, as we continue to push the sport to new territories and audiences. Expanding into new regions like Malaysia, Argentina and South Africa, alongside returning to key markets like Canada and Australia, highlights our vision to make supercross a truly global spectacle. Delivering elite supercross racing to five continents for the first time is a huge moment. This will be the biggest and best season yet.”
Antonio Alia Portela, FIM Motocross Commission Director, added: “SX Global is laying the foundations for a bold new era for the FIM World Supercross Championship. Having delivered an exciting championship of racing last year, they are proving their ambition this season by taking supercross further across the globe and creating a World Championship for fans in every continent to get excited about. Starting with a statement event in Kuala Lumpur before concluding in Cape Town, we are excited to see the best riders on the planet battle once again for the ultimate prize – the title of World Champion.”
Eli Tomac (450cc), Shane McElrath (250cc), and Fire Power Honda (Team) claimed victory in 2024, but with a new season comes fresh rivalries, intense battles, and the opportunity for new riders to make their mark on a global stage.
Team and rider announcements will be released throughout the year as the pace picks up to the first gate drop in Kuala Lumpur.
