Buenos Aires, Argentina, 7th November 2025: Buenos Aires is set to roar into life this Saturday, 8th November, as the 2025 FIM World Supercross Championship launches with the Buenos Aires City GP – the first of five rounds across five continents. The season opener will see the world’s top riders battle for supremacy in Latin America for the first time in the championship’s history.
Fans can expect edge-of-their-seat action as an all-star lineup featuring Justin Cooper, Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson, and Christian Craig go head-to-head with superstar Haiden Deegan, who will make his highly anticipated debut in the premier SX1 class. At just 19 years old, Deegan’s first-ever 450cc race represents one of the most exciting milestones in recent supercross history, taking on some of the giants of the sport for the first time.
Anderson will make his World Supercross debut with the Pipes Motorsports Group aboard Suzuki – returning to the brand where he started his career – as part of a stacked group competing in the championship for the first time. With new rivalries, new teams, and fresh energy across the grid, the Buenos Aires opener promises fireworks from the very first gate drop.
In SX2, fans are set for another thrilling title fight as British star Max Anstie (Team GSM powered by Star Racing) aims to reclaim the championship crown he first captured in 2023. Anstie faces strong opposition from 2022 and 2024 champion Shane McElrath, as well as contenders Coty Schock and Enzo Lopes, all looking to establish early championship dominance in the Argentine capital.
Adding another layer of anticipation, this weekend also marks the first time in World Supercross history that fully-electric bikes will compete head-to-head with combustion engines. Under new regulations sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), Stark Future’s revolutionary electric Stark VARG MX 1.2 will line up in both SX1 and SX2 categories, ridden by Vince Friese, Jorge Zaragoza, Lance Kobusch, and Michael Hicks. The inclusion of electric technology marks a major milestone in the evolution of supercross.
Tom Burwell, CEO of World Supercross, said: “We’re thrilled to kick off the 2025 World Supercross Championship here in Buenos Aires. This event marks the start of a truly global season that embodies everything World Supercross stands for – elite sport, innovation, and entertainment. Fans here in Argentina are incredibly passionate, and we couldn’t ask for a better place to launch what’s shaping up to be our most exciting season yet.”

The energy around this event has been incredible, and fans can expect unforgettable racing and entertainment. To host the world’s best supercross riders right here in Argentina is something truly special, and we’re proud to bring the World Supercross Championship to Latin America for the very first time.”
