2026 Birmingham Supercross – 250SX East/West Showdown Heat 1 | Round 10

Round 10 of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship arrives at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama — and with it comes one of the most unique and exciting events on the entire Supercross calendar: the first 250SX East/West Showdown of the season. Heat 1 is where it all kicks off.

The East/West Showdown is unlike any other round in Supercross. Riders from the 250SX East and West divisions, who spend the majority of the season racing on separate schedules, come together on the same track and compete head-to-head for the first time. For fans, it is a rare chance to see the best 250 riders from both coasts measured against each other. For the riders, it is a statement opportunity.

Heat 1 sets the tone for the entire showdown. With gate picks for the main event on the line, every rider — whether they come from the East or the West — is pushing hard from the very first lap. The competitive dynamics of a combined field make for unpredictable, hard-fought racing that is impossible to script.

Protective Stadium in Birmingham provides a tight, technical indoor track that rewards precision and smart race craft. In a combined field this competitive, there is no room for mistakes — and the riders who handle the pressure best in Heat 1 will carry that confidence straight into the main event.
