2025 Pro Motocross Championship Schedule

Introduction

The 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship is locked and loaded, and fans can expect another adrenaline-fueled summer of dirt-slinging action across the most iconic tracks in America. This year’s calendar keeps the same 11-round format as 2024, but with one major twist: Budds Creek will now serve as the season finale, replacing Ironman Raceway in that coveted final-round slot.

Whether you’re tracking your favorite riders like Haiden Deegan, Jett Lawrence, or Chase Sexton, or you’re planning to attend a round in person, this schedule is your go-to reference for everything happening this summer.

Every legendary venue is back, from the high-speed straights of RedBud MX to the deep sand of Southwick, offering a mix of power, precision, and unpredictability. Fans can expect bikes, bodies, and egos to be tested, especially in new key rounds like the shifted Ironman and Budds Creek dates.

Notable Schedule Changes for 2025

The 2025 series sticks with its proven venues, but don’t let that fool you—there are key changes that will shake up the title chase.

• Budds Creek Takes the Finale Spot:
  Historically a mid-season track, Budds Creek will now host the final round on August 23, 2025. Known for its elevation changes and technical layout, it adds a new layer of unpredictability to the championship decider.
  
  

• Ironman Moved Up:
  Ironman Raceway, which has hosted several dramatic season finales, is now Round 9 instead of the closer. It will be run on August 9, potentially removing its signature muddy final-round chaos.
  
  

• No New Venues, Just Strategic Tweaks:
  While the track list remains the same, this reshuffling impacts how teams and riders approach strategy, bike setup, and fitness. Riders will have to adapt, especially those who typically rely on late-season charges.
  
  

Pro Tip: Stay race-day ready by upgrading your fit with premium racewear sets and hydration packs, critical for mid-summer motos.

Midseason Highlights & Fan-Favorite Rounds

The middle stretch of the Pro Motocross season is where championship momentum builds—and legends are often made. For fans and riders alike, Rounds 5–8 pack in the most iconic venues, rowdy atmospheres, and memorable motos.

• The Wick 338 (June 28) – Southwick’s deep sand separates the skilled from the exhausted. Tire choice and conditioning are everything.
    Gear tip: Prepare for the sand with moto-specific goggles and vented jerseys.
  
  

• RedBud MX (July 5) – The Fourth of July round always delivers insane crowd energy, tricked-out bikes, and “LaRocco’s Leap.”
  Get RedBud ready with Honda gear like what Team HRC riders wear.
  
  

• Spring Creek MX Park (July 12) – A rolling, rutted track that punishes bad line choices and rewards throttle control.
  
  

• Washougal MX Park (July 19) – Arguably the most scenic venue on tour, but also one of the most technical due to slick shadows and unpredictable terrain.
  
  

This stretch often defines who’s in title contention and who’s fading into the mid-pack.

Championship Implications of the Finale Shift

The decision to move Budds Creek to the final round has big implications—not just for logistics, but for rider performance and fan experience.

• Weather Conditions: Budds Creek in late August is hot, humid, and brutal. Riders will need to maximize hydration and airflow.
  
  

• Track Dynamics: Unlike Ironman’s deep ruts and wide-open layout, Budds is tighter, more technical, and favors riders with finesse over sheer speed.
  
  

• Strategy Change: Riders who thrive in rougher, sandier terrain (like Ironman) may have to recalibrate their season-ending push.
  
  

For fans attending in person, Budds offers great spectator views and a legendary pro paddock vibe, just be ready for East Coast humidity.

SuperMotocross Integration & Playoff Impacts

As with 2024, the 2025 Pro Motocross season is part of the larger SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) structure. The 11-round motocross series feeds into a playoff format shared with the Supercross season.

• Top 20 Riders Advance: Points from both disciplines determine eligibility for the SMX Playoffs, meaning every moto in the summer still matters.
  
  

• SMX Events = $$$ + Prestige: The post-season playoffs offer some of the biggest payouts in the sport, making consistency in the outdoors more important than ever.
  
  

• Balanced Skill Requirement: The hybrid structure rewards riders who can handle both technical Supercross whoops and high-speed outdoor ruts.
