This Saturday, Salt Lake City's Rice‑Eccles Stadium turns into the center of the Supercross universe as it hosts the season finale of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. The last round will lock in this season's champions, with a rare East/West 250SX crossover on the race card and a full-day FanFest bringing riders, teams and bikes up close for fans.

Final round and the East/West showdown

Round 17, the championship finale, is scheduled for this Saturday at Rice‑Eccles Stadium, according to Monster Energy Supercross. As reported by FOX13, the Salt Lake finish will bring together the top riders from both 250SX divisions for a head-to-head East/West matchup.

FanFest, schedule and how to watch

Organizers list a FanFest running from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with pit access, rider meet-and-greets and autograph opportunities, according to the event listing on Ticketmaster. The finale will stream live on Peacock with an NBC encore, per Peacock.

Why the Salt Lake stop matters

Feld Entertainment says the Supercross circuit draws hundreds of thousands of live attendees, roughly 850,000 across the 17-round season, and reaches millions more via broadcast, making the season finale a major moment for host cities, according to Feld Entertainment. Rice‑Eccles has a long history of hosting big Supercross nights and sits on the University of Utah campus, giving Salt Lake a familiar stage for the sport's curtain call, as noted on Wikipedia.

Rice‑Eccles Stadium is at 451 S. 1400 East on the university campus; parking maps, venue rules and tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Check event pages and broadcast listings before you go for final start times and last-minute updates.
