The 2026 SuperMotocross League heads to Glendale, Arizona, for Round 5 at State Farm Stadium. Eli Tomac holds the red plate after winning the first two rounds, while Chase Sexton, Cooper Webb, and Hunter Lawrence also have strong starts to the season. Lawrence is still seeking his first career Supercross win, and this could be his opportunity with four runner-up finishes already this year.

Why it matters

The Glendale race is an early-season staple of the SuperMotocross schedule, and has seen several first-time winners in the past. With the tight points battle at the top, this race could play a pivotal role in determining the championship contenders as the season progresses.

The details

Tomac has never finished worse than fourth in Glendale and will look to extend his points lead. Sexton won the second Anaheim race, while Webb scored the overall victory in the Houston Triple Crown. Lawrence remains in contention, averaging a strong start and finishing in the top five in every race so far. The 250 class has also seen parity, with six different riders earning holeshot awards in the first four rounds.

  • The Glendale race is Round 5 of the 2026 SuperMotocross season.
  • Last year's Glendale race was Round 4 of the 2025 season and proved pivotal for Cooper Webb, who scored his best finish of the year with a second-place overall.
