Where to Find the Official 2025 American Flat Track Schedule
The official American Flat Track (AFT) schedule is published on the American Flat Track website at americanflattrack.com. The schedule page lists all sanctioned races for the year, organized by date and location, along with track names and race classes. This is the authoritative source — other sites may post partial information or outdated dates, so checking the official site first saves time and confusion.
The schedule typically includes two main racing series: AFT Superstars (the premier national series) and AFT Singles (entry-level racing). Each series has its own race calendar, and some events feature both series on the same day at the same track. The official site also lists which races are broadcast on television or streaming platforms, which matters if you plan to watch rather than attend in person.
Race dates can shift due to weather, track conditions, or scheduling conflicts, so the AFT website is updated throughout the year. If you are planning travel or time off work around a specific race, check the site within two weeks of the event date to confirm it has not moved.
Key Takeaways
- The American Flat Track official website publishes the complete 2025 schedule, organized by date and location, and updates it when races are postponed or rescheduled.
- The schedule separates AFT Superstars (national championship series) from AFT Singles (entry-level series), and some tracks host both on the same day.
- Each race listing includes the track name, address, race classes, and whether the event will be broadcast on television or streamed online.
- Race times, ticket prices, and pit pass information are usually found on the individual track's website or the AFT event page, not on the master schedule.
- Confirming the race date two weeks before you plan to attend protects you against last-minute postponements due to weather or track maintenance.
How to Read the AFT Schedule and Understand Race Classes
The schedule lists races by class, which determines what type of motorcycle and rider experience level compete. The main classes are Superstars (the highest level, with the most competitive riders), Singles (for newer riders and smaller-displacement bikes), and sometimes specialty classes like youth or vintage racing. Each class has its own race on the same day, so a single event might show three or four separate races happening at the same track.
Next to each race you will see the track location and date. Some tracks host AFT races multiple times per year, so you may see the same track name appear several times in the schedule. The schedule also notes whether a race is part of the national championship series (which counts toward season standings) or a standalone event.
If you are new to flat track racing, Superstars races are the ones most likely to be broadcast and draw the largest crowds. Singles races are smaller and more informal, making them a good entry point if you want to see racing without the intensity of a championship event.
Finding Ticket Information and Track Details
The AFT schedule page links to each track's website or the specific event page, where you find ticket prices, gate times, and parking information. Ticket costs vary widely depending on the track and whether the event is a championship race or a smaller regional event. Some tracks charge $15 to $25 for general admission, while major championship races can run $40 to $75 or more.
Most tracks open gates two to four hours before the first race, and racing typically runs from late afternoon into evening. Pit passes (which let you get close to the bikes and riders before the race) are usually sold separately and cost $20 to $50 depending on the track. Some tracks include pit access with general admission, so check the event page before you buy.
Track websites also list what you can and cannot bring into the venue — most allow coolers and outside food but prohibit glass bottles and pets. Parking is usually free, though some major events charge $5 to $10. If you are traveling from out of town, the track website often lists nearby hotels and restaurants.
Understanding AFT Superstars vs. AFT Singles Racing
AFT Superstars is the national championship series, featuring the most experienced riders competing for points that count toward the season title. Superstars races are longer, more competitive, and almost always broadcast on television or streamed. If you want to see the best flat track racing and the riders you have heard of, Superstars is what you are looking for.
AFT Singles is the entry-level series for riders new to flat track racing or riding smaller bikes. Singles races are shorter, less formal, and rarely broadcast, but they are often more affordable to attend and offer a more relaxed atmosphere. If you are curious about flat track racing but do not know much about it yet, a Singles race is a lower-pressure way to experience it.
The schedule shows which series each race belongs to, and many events host both Superstars and Singles races on the same day. This means you can watch both levels of racing at one venue if you want to stay longer.
How to Plan Travel Around AFT Events
Once you have picked a race from the schedule, note the track location and check how far it is from where you live. Major AFT tracks are spread across the country — some years have races in California, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and other states. The schedule shows the geographic spread, so you can see which races are closest to you or plan a road trip to multiple events.
If you are traveling more than a few hours, book lodging early, especially for championship races that draw large crowds. Many tracks post their event dates months in advance, so you can reserve a hotel room as soon as the schedule is published. Some riders and fans travel to multiple races in a season, so planning a route through several nearby tracks can save time and gas.
Check the weather forecast for the race location about a week before the event. Flat track racing can be postponed or rescheduled if heavy rain makes the track unsafe, so knowing the typical weather for that time of year helps you pack and prepare. The AFT website will post any postponements as soon as they are announced.
Watching AFT Races Online or on Television
Many AFT races are broadcast on television or streamed online, and the schedule page notes which races have broadcast coverage. Major Superstars races are most likely to be televised. Check the AFT website or your local television listings to see which channel or streaming service carries each race.
Some races are available only through AFT's own streaming service or through specialty motorsports networks, so you may need to subscribe to watch. The event page usually lists the broadcast details, including what time the race airs and whether it is live or delayed. If you cannot attend in person, checking the broadcast schedule helps you plan your viewing time.
Streaming options change from year to year depending on AFT's broadcast partnerships, so the official website is the only reliable source for current information about where to watch each race.
What to Expect at Your First AFT Race
Flat track racing is held on oval dirt tracks, usually one-third to one-half mile around. Riders lean their motorcycles at extreme angles while racing inches apart at high speed — it is visually dramatic and sounds loud. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise, and wear sunscreen and a hat because most races are outdoors with little shade.
Arrive early to walk the pit area and see the bikes up close before racing starts. Riders and teams are usually friendly and willing to talk to fans. Bring cash for food, drinks, and merchandise — not all vendors accept cards. Most tracks have a concession stand, but prices are high, so bringing your own cooler of drinks and snacks saves money.
Races are fast — a typical race lasts 10 to 20 minutes depending on the class and track length. Bring something to do between races, like a program or your phone, because there is downtime between classes. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly at most tracks, with kids often running around the infield.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find the 2025 schedule if I do not have internet access?
The AFT schedule is primarily online, but you can call individual tracks directly to ask about their 2025 race dates. Track phone numbers are usually listed on the AFT website. Some tracks also mail printed schedules to fans who request them, though this is less common than it used to be.
Do all AFT races happen on the same day of the week?
No. AFT races are held on different days throughout the year depending on track availability and scheduling. Most races happen on Friday or Saturday evenings, but some are held on Sunday afternoons or weekday nights. The schedule shows the exact day for each race.
What if a race I want to attend gets postponed?
The AFT website and the track's website will post postponement notices as soon as they are announced, usually due to weather or track conditions. Most tracks reschedule the race for the following day or week. Check the official sources within 24 hours of the scheduled race date if weather looks bad.
Are there races every weekend during the 2025 season?
No. AFT races are spread throughout the year but not every weekend. The schedule typically shows 15 to 25 Superstars races per season, with gaps between events for travel and maintenance. Singles races may be more frequent at some tracks.
Can I bring my own motorcycle to race at an AFT event?
Only if you are a licensed AFT racer with a valid membership and your bike meets AFT technical specifications. The AFT website has information about becoming a racer, but most people who attend are spectators, not competitors. Contact the AFT directly if you are interested in racing.
