The 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship was the fourth edition of the premier combined discipline off-road motorcycle racing competition, that was held in the United States. Combining the AMA Supercross Championship and the AMA Motocross Championship, along with three final SuperMotocross rounds, the series ran from January to September.
Jett Lawrence went into the season as the reigning overall champion in the 450cc class, while Jo Shimoda began the campaign as the defending champion in the 250cc class.
With injuries impacting both reigning champions, four-time FIM Motocross World Champion Jorge Prado and Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider Levi Kitchen took the 450cc and 250cc titles respectively. Neither rider would win a supercross or motocross title as part of this, with both winning a single round of the outdoor season before the three SMX playoff rounds.
