MX Sports Pro Racing, in conjunction with the SMX League, has confirmed the venues that will host SMX Next – Motocross events this summer.
A pair of Scouting Moto Combine, presented by U.S. Air Force Special Warfare, gatherings will be held in conjunction with the Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, at the Independence Day tradition of the RedBud National (July 4) and the season-ending Ironman National Finals (August 29). Both SMX Next events will take place the Friday prior to each respective race, with the RedBud Combine on July 3 and the Ironman Combine on August 28.
SMX Next combines the two Scouting Moto Combines with the five races that comprise SMX Next – Supercross and will culminate with the SMX Next World All-Stars during the Monster Energy SMX World Championship Playoffs. This season-long collaborative effort is focused on cultivating the development of the top A & B class prospects in amateur motocross. The 2026 SMX Next campaign officially began at the Anaheim 2 stop of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
“SMX Next remains one of the most practical and effective amateur development programs in motorsports and continues to provide an unparalleled opportunity for the sport’s most talented prospects to compete in a world-class environment,” said Jim Perry, program director for the Scouting Moto Combine. “Both RedBud and Ironman have proven to be exceptional venues for SMX Next – Motocross and we look forward to welcoming a new crop of talent to the Nationals for this summer’s Combines.”CN
