A complete outline of the 2023 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) broadcast schedule has been released, set to feature across Peacock, NBC, USA Network, CNBC and NBC Sports digital platforms.

Peacock becomes the home of the new SMX series, presenting live coverage of all races, qualifying and heats across both Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross spanning 31 events from January to October.

There will be 23 races that will live-stream exclusively on Peacock, including one SuperMotocross World Championship Playoff event. The platform will also provide on-demand replays of every race.

NBC Sports’ 2023 SMX and Supercross race action begins with the season-opener from Angel Stadium in Anaheim, live on Saturday, 7 January at 10:00pm ET on Peacock and USA Network. An encore presentation will air the following day on NBC at 2:00pm ET and on CNBC at 1:00am ET. CNBC will air a next-day encore for all 31 races across both series.

Later in the year, the 2023 Pro Motocross season begins with the Fox Raceway National in Pala, California, on Saturday, 27 May at 4:00pm ET, exclusively on Peacock.

The much-anticipated, newly-formed SMX championship will culminate with two SMX Playoff events and the SMX Final. SMX Playoff 1 will be presented on Saturday, 9 September at 3:00pm ET on Peacock and USA Network, followed by SMX Playoff 2 on Saturday, 23 September in primetime at 8:00pm ET, exclusively on Peacock.

The inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship Final will be presented from the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, 14 October, at 10:00pm ET on Peacock and USA Network.

The 2023 SMX commentary team will consist of Leigh Diffey, Todd Harris, Daniel Blair and Jason Weigandt as play-by-play announcers across all 31 events. Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart will serve as analysts throughout the year, while Blair, Will Christien and Jason Thomas will provide on-track reports.

Race Day Live will expand in 2023 to cover all 31 races of the SuperMotocross World Championship series exclusively on Peacock. Dan Hubbard and Daniel Blair will serve as hosts of the pre-race program, which will feature 2.5 hours of coverage for each Supercross event, one hour at Pro Motocross event and 2.5 hours for both SMX Playoff events and the SMX Final.

A SuperMotocross World Championship one-hour preview special airs Sunday, 1 January at 5:00pm ET on NBC and Peacock, featuring appearances from reigning Supercross and Pro Motocross champion Eli Tomac, Jason Anderson, Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen, Chase Sexton and Australian brothers Jett and Hunter Lawrence as they prepare for the upcoming 2023 season.

NBC Sports and Feld Motor Sports agreed to a multi-year rights extension in October 2022.

All Supercross and Pro Motocross televised coverage on NBC, USA Network and CNBC also streams on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app via authentication, giving consumers additional value to their subscription service, and making high-quality content available to MVPD customers both in and out of the home and on multiple platforms.
