Where to watch AMA Supercross on TV and streaming
AMA Supercross races air on NBC and CNBC during the regular season, which typically runs from January through May. The network broadcasts live coverage of most rounds, though some events may air on delay or move to streaming platforms depending on scheduling conflicts.
For streaming, Peacock (NBC's streaming service) carries live and on-demand Supercross content. You need an active Peacock subscription — either the ad-supported or ad-free tier — to watch. Some races also appear on Supercross.com through their own streaming service, which requires a separate subscription.
Cable and satellite providers including Comcast, DirecTV, Dish Network, and others carry NBC and CNBC as part of standard packages, so if you already subscribe to cable television, you can watch races on those channels without additional cost.
Key Takeaways
- NBC and CNBC broadcast most AMA Supercross races live during the January-through-May season, with schedules varying year to year.
- Peacock streaming requires a paid subscription but offers live races, replays, and additional coverage not shown on broadcast television.
- Supercross.com operates its own streaming service separate from Peacock, with its own subscription fee and content library.
- The official AMA Supercross website and the series' social media accounts post the current season schedule and any last-minute changes to broadcast plans.
How to find the current season schedule
The official AMA Supercross website (supercross.com) publishes the full season schedule before the season begins, listing each round date, location, and which network will broadcast it. This is the most reliable source because it includes any changes made after initial announcements.
NBC Sports' website also maintains a Supercross schedule page that shows which races air on NBC versus CNBC and what time they start in your time zone. Peacock's app and website display upcoming races in your account's schedule section if you search for Supercross.
The AMA Supercross social media accounts on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook post schedule updates, broadcast changes, and last-minute information. Following these accounts is useful if you want to catch notifications about rain delays, time changes, or events moving between networks.
Differences between NBC, CNBC, and Peacock broadcasts
NBC carries the marquee events — typically the season opener, select mid-season rounds, and the season finale. These races get prime-time slots and full production crews. CNBC airs additional rounds that don't conflict with NBC's other programming, usually in afternoon or early evening time slots.
Peacock often shows races live at the same time as the cable broadcast, but it also offers replays on demand the next day. This matters if you cannot watch live: cable broadcasts typically air once and then move to reruns, while Peacock keeps the full race available for the entire season.
Supercross.com's streaming service sometimes carries races that air on cable television simultaneously, but it also produces exclusive content like practice sessions, rider interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage not shown on NBC or CNBC. The trade-off is that you pay for a separate subscription to access it.
What you need to watch on each platform
| Platform | What you need | Cost | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBC or CNBC | Cable or satellite TV subscription | Included with existing cable package | Live races, select rounds only |
| Peacock | Peacock account and subscription | Monthly subscription (ad-supported or ad-free) | Live races, replays, some exclusive content |
| Supercross.com | Supercross.com account and subscription | Separate monthly or annual subscription | Live races, exclusive practice and interviews |
How to set up alerts for race day
Most streaming apps and cable providers let you add Supercross races to a calendar or watchlist. On Peacock, search for "Supercross" and tap the heart icon to follow the series; the app will then notify you before each race starts. NBC Sports' website has a similar feature if you create an account and add races to your favorites.
Setting a phone reminder 30 minutes before broadcast time is straightforward and works across all platforms. This is especially useful if you watch on cable, since NBC and CNBC don't always promote Supercross heavily in their on-screen guides.
The AMA Supercross app (available on iOS and Android) sends push notifications for race start times, results, and schedule changes. Downloading it gives you a centralized place to check the schedule without visiting multiple websites.
What happens if you miss a live race
NBC and CNBC typically air replays of races within a few days, usually on weekend afternoons or late-night slots. Check the network's TV guide or website to find the replay time, as it varies by race and network.
Peacock keeps full race replays available on demand for the entire season, so you can watch at any time without waiting for a scheduled rebroadcast. This is one of the main advantages of the streaming subscription if you cannot watch live.
Supercross.com's streaming service also archives races, though the length of time they remain available depends on your subscription type. Some races may move behind a paywall or be removed after the season ends, so check the platform's terms if you plan to rewatch races months later.
