Organizers announced “Daytona SMX Next,” the Daytona Supercross stop, will take place at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, Feb. 28. U.S. viewers can watch Race Day Live beginning at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock, and the Gate Drop broadcast airs at 7 p.m. ET on Peacock and SiriusXM. International viewers can stream Race Day Live at 6 p.m. GMT and the race at 12 a.m. GMT on SuperMotocross VideoPass; broadcasts for the Daytona round are available on Peacock, SiriusXM and SuperMotocross VideoPass.

Promotional materials headlined “Daytona SMX Next” present the event as Round 8 of the series. Some sources describe it as Round 8 of the SMX World Championship, while others call it the eighth round of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. The Daytona stop is a single-round stop linked to the broader series.

Riders entered for the round include Eli Tomac and recent race winner Hunter Lawrence. Organizers encouraged fans to “take a lap around Daytona International Speedway” as part of the build-up; event communications focused on timing, location and promotional messaging rather than results or roster changes.
