The iconic indoor motocross tour returns, setting the stage for an even larger off-road future. The 2026 Arenacross Tour officially launches tonight, with Birmingham announced as one of just two UK rounds next year alongside Belfast.

The high-octane indoor motocross show will return to the bp pulse LIVE, Birmingham, for one night only, promising edge-of-your-seat racing, jaw-dropping freestyle motocross displays, and an electrifying atmosphere unlike anything else in the world of off-road sport.

As the only English stop on the 2026 Tour, this event is set to sell out fast. Fans can save up to 20% on tickets by purchasing in the pre-sale tonight (sign-up to email newsletters at www.axworldtour.com to get the link automatically). 

“2025 was a ground-breaking year for Arenacross as we launched our overseas journey in the Middle East,” explains Arenacross promoter Matt Bates. “And our journey doesn’t stop there.

2026 will be no different, and whilst we’ve reduced our UK events to two amazing locations that we’ve been visiting with indoor racing for 25 years, our plans to create one big event for the world of off-road in Birmingham starts this year.”

Located at one of the UK’s largest and most-visited exhibition venues, the NEC, Arenacross will use the next three years to evolve into a major festival weekend celebrating all things off-road.

“Whilst 2026 will see the return of Arenacross, from 2027 we’ll be expanding the event into the exhibition halls of the NEC, paving the way for an entirely new show that’s been so sadly missing from the British Dirt Bike calendar,” Bates continues. “From brand activations, fan zones, shopping, live shows and riding experiences, our plan is to bring the whole world of everything off-road together — from Motocross to Adventure riding and everything in between.”

With Arenacross continuing to redefine the sport both in the UK and abroad, the Birmingham round marks the start of an exciting new era for off-road fans — one that’s set to put the UK firmly back on the global dirt bike map.
