Daylight Supercross Hits MetLife as East Rutherford Hosts Early-Rising Round of 2025 Championship

The 14th round of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship is set to take place this Saturday, April 19, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This marks the third consecutive round in the Northeast for the championship, continuing the historic East Coast swing.

MetLife Stadium, which typically hosts the New York Giants and Jets, will welcome fans and racers for an exciting daytime event, deviating from the usual nighttime format seen in many other rounds.

East Rutherford Hosts Daytime Supercross with Early Start Times and Global Coverage

Unlike traditional Supercross rounds, East Rutherford will run as a day race, similar to the previous weekend’s Philadelphia event. Fans and viewers should note that heat races are scheduled to begin just after 3:00 p.m. Eastern (12:00 p.m. Pacific). This adjustment in timing means fans should be prepared to tune in earlier than normal, especially those planning to catch all the action live.

Qualifying coverage kicks off early Saturday morning with Race Day Live starting at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (6:30 a.m. Pacific) on Peacock. Live coverage of the main racing program begins at 3:00 p.m. Eastern (12:00 p.m. Pacific), also on Peacock. For international fans, the SMX Video Pass will stream the event simultaneously and includes additional Spanish and French language broadcasts as part of the 2025 offering.

In addition to the live video coverage, fans can listen to the entire event via SiriusXM Radio.

This radio coverage continues the consistent full-show audio broadcast format offered for every weekend of SuperMotocross (SMX).
