The 2022 Monster Energy Supercross season begins this Saturday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, with the sport’s best riders returning to a more regular schedule. From 10 p.m. until 11 p.m. Eastern Time, CNBC will broadcast live coverage of the event (ET).
Supercross will begin its season in Houston, Texas in 2021, rather than Anaheim, California, as it has for the last almost two decades (which had opened the season annually since 1999 until last year).
After midweek races and multi-event “residency” events in the same location last year, the series will now take place on Saturday evenings in a different city each week.
Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen, and Eli Tomac are all back to defend their 450cc AMA Supercross titles.
The likes of Aaron Plessinger, Marvin Musquin, and Adam Cianciarulo, among others, are anticipated to fight for the overall title, as are Dylan Ferrandis, Malcolm Stewart, and Dean Wilson.
Leigh Diffey and Todd Harris will call the action in 2022, with five-time world champion Ricky Carmichael returning as an analyst. This season, pit reporters Daniel Blair and Will Christien will act as play-by-play broadcasters for a few events, with Blair also working as a pit reporter.
All 17 rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross 2022 season will be carried live on NBC, CNBC, USA Network, Peacock, and NBC Sports digital platforms.
This year’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will be streamed live, including the Feb. 12 race in Anaheim.
Peacock will broadcast all of the Supercross action, including practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and the actual races themselves. For more information, go here (information on how to sign up is available by clicking here).

Preview
The RMFantasySX.com fantasy supercross from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC is back for the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship Series. It’s our go-to method for having a good time with fantasy supercross since it’s straightforward but also tough. It’s free to play, there are prizes for winning, and you can organize your own leagues.
With Cooper Webb, the reigning champion, going up against Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac, Justin Barcia, Dylan Ferrandis, Chase Sexton, and Adam Cianciarulo, it’s going to be difficult to choose a top 5. In addition, a week’s standings can be made or broken by the elusive wild card. Let’s get started with that in mind.
A few things have changed with RMFantasySX since last year. There is no difference in the scores. If you correctly predict where the cyclist will finish, you will receive the same number of points as the rider. If a cyclist in the top five is just one spot behind you, you gain an extra 10 points. 5 points if the cyclist is in the top 5 but 2 or more places away from your choice.
The Wild Card has the same point value as first place: 26 points. Double points are available in the final round in Salt Lake City this year. That’s RM Fantasy SX’s method of ensuring that everyone stays engaged until the end of the season.
Last year, Webb, Roczen, and Tomac dominated the series. This year, though, the race is more evenly contested. There were 15 victories, 31 podiums, and 39 top-five finishes for the three in 17 races. The only other consistent top-5 finisher was Barcia, who finished with 10 victories for the year. In even half of the main events, no other rider finished in the top five.
