2024 FIM Supercross World Championship explained

The 2024 FIM Supercross World Championship is a supercross series sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) as the world championship of the sport. This is the third season that the championship is being organized by Australian promoter SX Global.

Ken Roczen is the reigning champion in the WSX class for 450cc motorcycles, whilst Max Anstie is the reigning champion in the SX2 class.[1] Anstie will only compete in the opening round as a wildcard, so will not defend his crown.

Format Changes

Several format changes were brought in ahead of the season starting that would apply at each event.[2]

SuperPole: Top four riders from the fifteen minute qualifying go to the SuperPole which will determine the starting gate positions for the Main Events. Top three riders in the SuperPole will score championship points as follows:

Position 1st  2nd  3rd 
Points531

SuperFinal: The top eight riders from across the three Main Events in WSX and SX2 will qualify for the SuperFinal at the end of the night. The SuperFinal will allocate championship points to the finishers along the same scheme as for each Main Event.

Calendar and results

The 2024 season is scheduled to have 4 events in Canada, Australia and United Arab Emirates.[3]
