2026 AMA National Numbers Released: Key Insights and Changes
The AMA has officially announced the 2026 national numbers for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, unveiling several notable developments ahead of the upcoming season.
Key Numbers and Changes:
-
Cooper Webb will don the prestigious #1 plate for the third time as he defends his 450SX Championship title. Historically, Webb’s championship wins occurred during odd-numbered years: 2019, 2021, and 2025. This trend raises questions about how his performance will unfold in 2026.
-
Haiden Deegan is anticipated to race with the #1W plate in the 250SX West Division. Deegan aims to secure his second consecutive title before advancing to the premier class for the AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
-
Tom Vialle, after securing two consecutive 250SX East Division titles, transitions to the 450SX field. He is expected to compete full-time in the FIM Motocross World Championship, where he previously clinched two MX2 Championships, racing on the 450F.
The implications of these number assignments and transitions set the stage for an exciting season, especially with the opening round just under 90 days away. The move of top talents and champions highlights a dynamic shift within both classes, promising competitive battles ahead.
