The 2026 motocross season is shaping up to be exciting, with several top riders making key decisions about their future teams. Eli Tomac has confirmed he’ll continue racing in 2026 and is reportedly close to joining Red Bull KTM. Chase Sexton’s future is uncertain, but rumors suggest he’s leaving KTM to join Monster Energy Kawasaki alongside Jorge Prado.
Malcolm Stewart’s two-year deal with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna ends in 2025, leaving his future uncertain. Ken Roczen signed a one-year extension with Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki, but his contract expires at the end of 2025, sparking speculation about his next move.
Red Bull KTM could have a formidable lineup with Tomac, Aaron Plessinger, and Tom Vialle if Vialle wins the 250 title and moves up. Monster Energy Kawasaki aims to turn their fortunes around with Prado and potentially Sexton on board. The 2026 season promises to be massive, with many top riders’ contracts expiring and new teams potentially entering the fray.
