SuperMotocross Finale Set for Peacock as Championship Battle Concludes

The 2026 SuperMotocross season will conclude this weekend at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, with the Pro Motocross Championship hanging in the balance. The highly anticipated Round 28 features a tight points battle between brothers Hunter and Jett Lawrence, separated by a single point entering the finale.

Broadcast coverage for the event is anchored by Comcast Corporation. Streaming will begin on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET with Race Day Live coverage of qualifying on Peacock and the NBC Sports App. The feature program is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock.

While the narrative focuses on the Lawrence brothers, competition from riders like Jorge Prado, Haiden Deegan, and Eli Tomac could impact the final standings. A tie in points would result in Hunter Lawrence taking the title via the tiebreaker. Beyond the premier class, the 250 class and WMX series will also crown champions this weekend.

The availability of the finale on Peacock continues Comcast’s strategy of leveraging its streaming platforms for sports content. As of the previous market close, Comcast Corporation was trading at $26.38. The company operates through several segments, including Media and Studios, which are central to its sports broadcasting and production capabilities. The stock saw a recent session price of approximately $26.70.

All 31 rounds of the 2026 SuperMotocross season have been distributed across NBC, USA Network, Peacock, and NBC Sports digital platforms, highlighting the integration of linear and streaming services for sports rights holders.
