Comcast’s Peacock Streams Live SuperMotocross Action from Washougal

The SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) continues this weekend with Round 25, coinciding with the eighth round of the Pro Motocross season. The event is set for Saturday, July 25, taking place at Washougal MX Park in Washington. Broadcasting responsibilities for the event fall exclusively on streaming platforms operated by Comcast Corporation, specifically Peacock.

Live coverage will begin early in the afternoon with qualification sessions. Race Day Live is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. ET on Peacock. Following the qualifying heats, the main racing program is set to commence at 4:00 p.m. ET. This coverage strategy is consistent with the broader agreement for the 31-round season, which utilizes Peacock for live streaming across all heats and main events.

From a competitive standpoint, the championship battle remains intense. Hunter Lawrence currently holds a 10-point advantage over his brother, Jett, marking the largest lead of the season. Jett, who suffered a mid-race crash during the previous round at Spring Creek, is aiming to close the gap before a two-week break in the schedule. Meanwhile, veteran rider Eli Tomac returns to a venue where he has historically performed well, having secured a podium finish in every one of his eight previous starts at Washougal.

Comcast’s strategy of anchoring motorsports coverage on its streaming service Peacock highlights the company’s broader shift toward digital platforms within its Media segment. As the telecommunications and media giant continues to integrate its broadcast assets with direct-to-consumer streaming offerings, live sports rights like the SuperMotocross series serve as key drivers for subscriber retention and engagement.
