The Women’s Motocross Championship Powered by Synchrony is preparing for another competitive season, with the SMX League announcing its complete six-round schedule for 2027. The championship will once again run alongside the Pro Motocross Championship, bringing the world’s top women’s motocross athletes to some of the sport’s most recognizable tracks.
The season begins May 28th-29th at Pala Raceway in Southern California before heading to Hangtown in Northern California on June 4th-5th. From there, the championship returns to Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado, June 11th-12th, giving Colorado fans another opportunity to watch the country’s premier women’s motocross series.
After a midseason break, racing resumes at Unadilla in New York on August 13th-14th, followed by Budds Creek in Maryland on August 20th-21st. The championship will conclude August 27th-28th at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
Leading the field will be reigning three-time WMX Champion Lachlan Turner, who enters the season pursuing an extraordinary fourth consecutive title. Turner also made history in September by winning the inaugural WMX Invitational at the SMX World Championship Final in Ridgedale, Missouri.
Her biggest challengers are expected to include Australian standout Charli Cannon, who has finished runner-up in consecutive championship seasons, and Mikayla Nielsen, who has earned back-to-back championship podium finishes. Rising talent Mayla Herrick will also join the full championship schedule for the first time.
The growing international profile of WMX has attracted elite competitors from around the world, including FIM champions Lotte van Drunen and Daniela Guillen during the 2026 season. Series officials anticipate additional international talent in 2027 as the championship continues gaining visibility.
“This is where the world comes to race,” said Christina Denney, WMX Series Director for MX Sports Pro Racing, emphasizing the championship’s increasing significance within professional motocross.
The season will also feature the return of the WMX Invitational on September 25 during the Monster Energy SMX World Championship Final. More than a dozen elite women riders are expected to compete on a hybrid course combining elements of Supercross and outdoor motocross. The venue has not yet been announced.
Broadcast coverage will be available through NBC Sports, Peacock, and SMX Video Pass for all six championship rounds and the postseason Invitational. The expanded exposure continues an important period of growth for women’s motocross, bringing its athletes to larger audiences alongside the sport’s premier professional events.
