The U.S. Women’s Motocross Championship has announced six 2027 rounds alongside Pro Motocross, followed by a separate September invitational. That gives fans two different things to put in the calendar: the outdoor championship and the SMX showcase. This article covers the American series, not the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship.

Two blocks of three
| Round | Weekend | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | May 28–29 | Pala Raceway, California |
| 2 | June 4–5 | Hangtown, California |
| 3 | June 11–12 | Thunder Valley, Colorado |
| 4 | August 13–14 | Unadilla, New York |
| 5 | August 20–21 | Budds Creek, Maryland |
| 6 | August 27–28 | Ironman, Indiana |
These are the weekend ranges in the announcement, not a confirmed WMX session timetable. Check the event program before choosing which day to attend.
Lachlan Turner is chasing a fourth straight title. The announcement also highlights Charli Cannon, Mikayla Nielsen and Mayla Herrick, with Herrick planning her first complete season. [1]
September is a separate date
The WMX Invitational is scheduled for September 25 at the SMX World Championship Final. Its venue was unannounced in the release. It is a showcase, not a seventh outdoor championship round. NBC Sports, Peacock and SMX Video Pass coverage is announced for the championship and invitational; regional access needs checking. [1]
Make the schedule useful
WrenchMoto take: Treat each three-week block as its own planning problem. For a family following several rounds, put travel days, accommodation and recovery time next to the race weekends before deciding that two nearby dates make an easy trip. A date on a calendar does not show how much work it takes to arrive ready.
For spectators, confirm the WMX practice and race windows before buying a particular admission package. Ask whether the ticket covers the day you want, whether paddock access is included, and what the venue requires for children. None of those details should be inferred from the national-series calendar.
For riders and supporters, use the break to review the first block rather than erase it. Keep a short record of starts, moto finishes, mechanical problems and the work required before the next trip. The calendar is a useful framework for that review, but this announcement is not an entry rulebook or a rider-eligibility decision.
When the season starts, follow the championship standings separately from invitational selections. Being a title contender, receiving an invitation and appearing on a final entry list are different facts. We will not turn an organizer’s expectation of a strong international field into a list of confirmed entrants.
