"It's incredibly gratifying to see our vision for a truly global supercross

championship steadily coming to fruition. Our goals, while ambitious, are clear

to elevate supercross to a global audience through a truly international

calendar of events, visit diverse destinations that have well-established and

passionate fan bases, and visit new regions where supercross can grow and

flourish," said SX Global CEO, Adam Bailey. "We believe the 2023 schedule

delivers on these promises, yet it's only the tip of the spear. We have so much

more room for growth in regions across the globe that are hungry to witness

this incredible spectacle, firsthand. We are only scratching the surface of our

long-term plan for WSX."

FIM Motocross Commission Director Mr Antonio Alia Portela said, "After a

successful 2022 debut season, SX Global is bringing the FIM WSX Championship to

new countries. World Supercross enters a new era which will see the series

expand to countries and venues worldwide, much to the delight of its many fans.

And this is only the beginning, we are confident that many more countries will

join the Championship in the near future."

WSX will bring its pioneering supercross experience back to the UK, at Villa

Park, Birmingham for the opening round on July 1st. The Championship will then

cross the channel to France for round two on July 22nd at Groupama Stadium in

Lyon-Décines. The series will make its way into South-East Asia on September

30th, before heading to Dusseldorf, Germany on October 14th at Merkur Spiel

Arena. On October 28th, WSX will be in Canada at BC Place in Vancouver and,

once again, the series finale will take place in Melbourne, Australia at Marvel

Stadium, on Nov. 24th and 25th.

"Our pilot season was designed to test what is possible and prove that the

sport of supercross has strong demand from fans in previously underserved

countries across the world," said Bailey. "The incredible fan response and

attendance for events in Cardiff and Melbourne reinforced that our instincts

were indeed correct, and we are now powered by strong momentum and interest

from cities, promoters, broadcasters and sponsors all wanting to be part of the

new global championship. We are excited to continue to showcase this incredible

sport to fans across the globe".
