The 2026 Pro Motocross Championship heads to Budds Creek this weekend for the penultimate round of the outdoor season, and both title fights are coming down to the wire. With just four motos remaining, Budds Creek’s steep hills, off-camber corners and technical natural-terrain layout could play a major role in deciding who carries the advantage into the Ironman finale. Jett Lawrence enters the weekend back in possession of the 450 red plate after capitalizing on Hunter Lawrence’s costly moto two crash at Unadilla. Jett’s (2-1) scores earned him the overall victory and turned a 12-point deficit entering Unadilla into a 10-point championship lead, 402 to 392. Hunter now needs to respond quickly, while Haiden Deegan remains third in the standings and comes into Budds Creek riding a four-race podium streak. The 250 Championship is even closer. Levi Kitchen still holds the red plate, but his advantage over Cole Davies has been reduced to just one point, 334 to 333. Kitchen won the opening moto at Unadilla before charging from deep in the field to sixth in moto two, while Davies went (2-1) to claim his second consecutive overall victory. Davies has now won four of the last six Nationals and carries serious momentum into Budds Creek, while Kitchen has shown the speed to win every weekend but will need to put together two complete motos. With only Budds Creek and Ironman remaining, there is almost no room left for mistakes in either championship.

Many have asked, and it’s back, the MXA Fantasy League is live for its third season in 2026, and this time we have new prizes and new ways to earn them! The Grand Prize for this year is a brand new Stark Varg 1.2 model, and to win it, all you have to do is enter your picks and play the MXA Fantasy League app all season long to be entered into the random drawing to score a brand new electric dirt bike at the end of the season.
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.
