The 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs continue this weekend with the second round set to take place at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. After opening the postseason in Columbus, Ohio, the championship now heads west as the 250 and 450 classes prepare for the second of three SMX playoff rounds. With only one race remaining after Los Angeles, every position becomes even more important as riders look to put themselves in the best possible position heading into the finale in Ridgedale, Missouri.

The SMX format once again combines elements of Supercross and motocross, creating a track that will challenge riders with a mixture of technical rhythm sections, jumps, high-speed sections and outdoor-style obstacles. With the opening playoff round now behind them, riders have a better idea of where they stand, but there is little room for mistakes with the championship winding down. Both the 250 and 450 classes remain packed with talent, and with valuable points on the line in Los Angeles, the second round could play a major role in shaping the championship before the final gate drops in Missouri.
