Four Live Network Telecasts on NBC Highlight Broadcast Schedule for 2024 Pro Motocross Championship

Pair of Encore Presentations on USA Network Combine for Six Network Showcases; Peacock Continues as Centerpiece of SuperMotocross Coverage

MORGANTOWN, WV – May 24, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The 2024 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, kicked off its 53rd season on Thursday with a press conference ahead of Saturday’s opening round at the Honda Fox Raceway National Presented by Fox Racing. Pro Motocross serves as the midway point of the SuperMotocross World Championship Series (SMX), beginning the summer portion of the regular season with Round 18. Southern California’s Pala Casino provided the setting for the industry gathering, after which the adjacent Fox Raceway saw all entered racers take to track for the first time.

A focal point of the press conference was the dynamic broadcast package that encompasses the SMX Series. Another successful season of Monster Energy AMA Supercross saw impressive growth across all areas, including a 30-percent increase in live minutes watched on Peacock, the centerpiece of SMX broadcasts that will carry wall-to-wall live coverage of all 11 rounds of the Pro Motocross Championship. Additionally, network showcases of Supercross on NBC and USA Network, along with re-airs on CNBC, saw 24-percent growth in audience reach. Additionally, SuperMotocross Video Pass continued to drive a broader reach for the sport’s international audience, which included the introduction of a dedicated Spanish-language broadcast that contributed to more than 130 different countries being represented. To top it all off, a new partnership with Telemundo brought the Spanish-language broadcast to the domestic SMX audience in the U.S. for the first time, with three simulcasts on Telemundo Deportes’ YouTube channel and the Telemundo page on the NBC mobile app–the recent Supercross finale from Salt Lake City, the upcoming Pro Motocross finale from Indiana’s Ironman Raceway on August 24, and the SuperMotocross World Championship Final in Las Vegas on September 21.

All 11 rounds of the Pro Motocross Championship will also re-air via tape delay on CNBC every Sunday night for viewers in the Pacific Time Zone at 11 p.m. PT and Monday morning for viewers in the Eastern Time Zone at 2 a.m. ET.

For international viewers, the SuperMotocross Video Pass will continue to provide fans around the world with the same award-winning production found domestically, with live streaming of every moto, from every round of the season. Viewers from more than 130 different countries have subscribed to Video Pass, which has seen even more growth this year with the introduction of the aforementioned Spanish-language broadcast hosted by veteran announcer Edgar Lopez and former racer Tommy Rios. With a continued influx of international talent contesting the Pro Motocross Championship, this reach is expected to expand even further. For a limited time, new subscribers can sign up for SuperMotocross Video Pass with a 50% discount.
