South Africa is getting closer to hosting a round of the FIM World Supercross Championship for the first time at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium on December 13.

The season finale promises high-octane performances from the world’s best supercross riders, with the 2025 SX1 and SX2 world champions to be crowned. Supercross events take place on specially constructed tracks inside stadiums, differing from motocross, which is on outdoor courses.

In the SX1 class, championship riders include Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson, Joey Savatgy and Christian Craig, while reigning SX2 champion Shane McElrath will be fighting to defend his crown against contenders including Max Anstie and Enzo Lopes.

“Cape Town is the perfect location for our season finale. The intensity of the title hunt, combined with the phenomenal atmosphere of the DHL Stadium, guarantees an unforgettable night. The riders, teams and fans are all ready to see who has what it takes to be crowned the 2025 world champion,” said Tom Burwell, CEO of World Supercross.

“Bringing World Supercross to Cape Town is a huge moment for the sport in our country,” said Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis earlier this year. “South Africa has a proud motocross and supercross fan base, and we’re excited to host the season finale at the iconic DHL Stadium.”

Tickets are priced from R450 and packages designed for every fan, including designated family zones, general admission, premium, hospitality and more, will be available.
