Helmets at the ready! World Supercross is coming to Cape Town

Get ready, Cape Town! For the very first time in the history of World Supercross, Cape Town will be hosting a major race.

And not just any race - it's the season finale of the 2025 FIM World Supercross Championship. 

Now that's lekker!

The South African GP is set to take place on Saturday, 13 December 2025, at the magnificent DHL Stadium.

With the introduction of an African leg of the Championship, the full calendar of races will now be contested across five continents. Asia, North America, South America and Australasia are the other host continents... but we bet their crowds won't be anything like ours!

Tom Burwell, the CEO of World Supercross, revealed: “The 2025 calendar is a defining moment for World Supercross, as we continue to push the sport to new territories and audiences.

"Expanding into new regions like Malaysia, Argentina and South Africa, alongside returning to key markets like Canada and Australia, highlights our vision to make supercross a truly global spectacle. Delivering elite supercross racing to five continents for the first time is a huge moment. This will be the biggest and best season yet.”

Eli Tomac (450cc), Shane McElrath (250cc) and Fire Power Honda (Team) were the victors of the 2024 season. It is unclear as to whether the champions of last year will participate in 2025, as the team schedules will only be released at a later date.
