Where to find the official MotoAmerica schedule
The official MotoAmerica schedule is published on the MotoAmerica website at motoamerica.com. The schedule page lists all rounds for the current season, including the date, location, and track name for each event. MotoAmerica typically releases the full season schedule in the fall of the previous year, though dates can shift if weather or other factors force postponements.
The schedule is organized by series — MotoAmerica runs multiple racing series at different skill and engine-size levels, including the Superbike Championship, Supersport, and several support classes. Each series races at some but not all rounds, so you need to check which series compete at the specific event you want to attend.
You can also find schedule information through the official MotoAmerica social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook, which post updates and reminders as events approach. These channels often announce last-minute changes or special events happening at a particular round.

What happens at a typical MotoAmerica weekend
A standard MotoAmerica event runs Friday through Sunday. Friday is usually practice day, with multiple practice sessions for different series and classes. Saturday includes more practice sessions in the morning, followed by may have access to rounds in the afternoon — this is when riders set their grid positions for Sunday's races.
Sunday is race day. Most rounds feature multiple races across the different series, with Superbike races typically held in the afternoon. A single round may have four to six races total, depending on how many series are competing. Each race lasts between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the class and track.
Gates usually open early in the morning, and the last race typically finishes by late afternoon. Bring sunscreen, water, and a chair if you plan to stay all day — most tracks have limited shade and seating is not provided in general admission areas.
How to buy tickets and plan your visit
Tickets are sold through the host track's website, not through MotoAmerica directly. Each track runs its own ticketing system and sets its own prices. General admission tickets typically range from $30 to $60 per day, though premium seating or multi-day passes cost more. Some tracks offer discounts for advance purchase or for children under 12.
Parking is usually separate from the ticket price and can range from free to $20 depending on the track and lot. Some tracks charge extra for preferred parking closer to the grandstands. Check the track's website for parking details and whether you need to reserve a spot in advance.
Most MotoAmerica rounds are held at road courses in the western United States — tracks like Laguna Seca in California, Miller Motorsports Park in Utah, and Road America in Wisconsin host multiple rounds per season. A few events move to different tracks year to year, so confirm the venue before booking travel.
Understanding the racing series and classes
MotoAmerica's main series is the Superbike Championship, which features the fastest bikes and most experienced riders. This is the series most casual fans come to watch. Supersport is the next level down in terms of bike power and rider experience, and races are often more competitive because the field is more evenly matched.
Below those are support classes like Superstock, Stock 1000, and smaller-displacement classes. Not all support classes race at every round. If you are interested in a specific class or rider, check the schedule to confirm that class is racing at the event you plan to attend.
Each series has its own race time, so if you want to see multiple series, you will be there for most or all of the day. The MotoAmerica website lists the race order and approximate times for each round, though actual start times can shift by 30 minutes or more depending on how practice and may have access to run.
Tracking schedule changes and cancellations
Weather, mechanical issues, or safety concerns can delay or cancel races. MotoAmerica posts updates on its website and social media accounts when changes happen. If you are traveling a long distance to an event, sign up for the MotoAmerica email newsletter or follow their social accounts so you see announcements before you leave home.
Postponed races are usually rescheduled for later in the season or moved to the following day if weather clears. Rarely, a race is cancelled entirely and not rescheduled. Check the MotoAmerica website the day before and the morning of your planned visit to confirm the schedule is still on.
What to bring and how to prepare
Bring cash or a card for parking, food, and merchandise. Most tracks have food vendors on site, but prices are high and options can be limited. Many fans bring coolers with their own food and drinks — check the specific track's rules on what is allowed in the paddock and grandstand areas.
Wear comfortable shoes because you will be walking and standing for hours. Sunscreen and a hat are essential even on cloudy days. Bring binoculars if you want to see details of the bikes and riders from general admission seating — grandstand views can be far from the action.
Earplugs are optional but many fans use them because the bikes are loud. A light jacket is useful for early morning or evening, even in summer, because track areas can be windy and cool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy tickets in advance or can I buy them at the gate?
Most tracks allow gate sales, but advance tickets are usually cheaper and may provide entry if the event sells out. Check the specific track's website to see if advance discounts are offered and whether they expect the event to reach capacity.
Can I bring a child to a MotoAmerica race?
Yes. Most tracks allow children in general admission areas and offer discounted or free tickets for young children. Some tracks have family areas with extra shade or seating. Check the track's website for age policies and family pricing.
What time should I arrive to get a good spot?
Gates typically open two to three hours before the first race. Arriving when gates open gives you time to find parking, get food, and claim a good viewing spot without rushing. If you want a specific grandstand seat, arrive even earlier or buy reserved seating in advance.
Is there a schedule for practice and may have access to times?
Yes, the MotoAmerica website publishes a detailed schedule for each round showing practice and may have access to times for each series. Times are usually posted two to three weeks before the event. Actual start times can shift by 30 minutes, so check the morning of the event for any updates.
Can I watch MotoAmerica races online if I can't attend in person?
MotoAmerica races are broadcast on various platforms depending on the round. Check the MotoAmerica website or your cable provider's sports channels for broadcast information. Some rounds may be available through streaming services, though availability varies by location and event.
