QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following two highly successful pilot events in 2022 that saw over 85,000 fans enjoy world-class supercross action in Cardiff, Wales and Melbourne, Australia, SX Global today announced six events for the 2023 FIM Supercross World Championship (WSX). The 2023 calendar will expand the global footprint of the championship with FIM-sanctioned rounds in France, Germany and Canada, while also returning to Australia and the UK. The championship will also expand to Southeast Asia, with the exact location to be announced in the near future.
"It is incredibly gratifying to see our vision of a truly global supercross championship come to fruition. Our goals, while ambitious, are clear to elevate supercross to a global audience through a truly international calendar of events, to visit diverse destinations that have well-established and passionate fanbases, and visit new regions where supercross can grow and flourish," said SX Global CEO Adam Bailey. "We believe the 2023 schedule delivers on these promises, but it is just the tip of the spear. We have much more room to grow in regions around the world that are hungry to witness this incredible spectacle firsthand. We are only scratching the surface of our long-term plan for the WSX."
FIM Motocross Commission Director Antonio Alia Portela stated: "Following a successful debut season in 2022, SX Global brings the FIM WSX Championship to new countries. World Supercross enters a new era that will see how the series expands to countries and venues around the world, to the delight of its many fans. And this is just the beginning, we are sure many more countries will join the Championship in the near future."
WSX will bring its pioneering supercross experience to the UK, at Villa Park, Birmingham, for the opening round on July 1. The Championship will then cross the English Channel to France for the second round, on July 22 at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon-Décines.

On October 28, the WSX will be in Canada at Vancouver's BC Place, and once again the series finale will take place in Melbourne, Australia at Marvel Stadium on November 24 and 25.
“Our pilot season was designed to prove what is possible and show that the sport of supercross is in high demand by fans in countries around the world that have previously been underserved,” said Bailey. "The incredible fan response and turnout at events in Cardiff and Melbourne reinforced that our instincts were right, and we are now fueled by strong momentum and interest from cities, promoters, broadcasters and sponsors who want to be a part. of the new world championship. We are excited to continue to showcase this amazing sport to fans around the world."
