The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship has a new home. And it’s going to air live.
FUEL TV, Alli Sports, and MX Sports Pro Racing announce an agreement for FUEL TV to air the first two races on the world-renowned, 12-stop circuit live.
“We are thrilled to be moving our long-standing relationship with FUEL TV, which began with the Dew Tour in 2005, into another venue,” says Wade Martin, Alli Sports CEO “This is a great opportunity to expand the audience for motocross racing.”
That means an additional 24 hours of motocross and hour-long previews and recaps before and after each race. Also, FUEL TV will air a one-hour highlight show each Thursday, as well as a season preview, mid-season summary, and post-season wrap-up shows.

“This is another huge step forward for American motocross, something our athletes and race fans have waited a long time for” says Davey Coombs, VP of MX Sports Pro Racing. “The opportunity to enjoy live television coverage of each of our 12 championship rounds, as well as, a weekly highlight program is going to make this a fantastic summer for motocross fans.”
FUEL TV showcases the first 250 Class and 450 Class motocross races each Saturday of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
“This expansion of our relationship with Alli Sports and MX Sports enables FUEL TV to continue our commitment to deliver high-quality coverage of motocross,” says CJ Olivares, FUEL TV GM. “FUEL TV currently brings fans an inside look into this grueling sport through our popular docu-series ‘The Moto: Inside The Outdoors’ and now viewers will also have the chance to follow the races live each weekend.”
Additional Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship coverage is available on FUEL TV’s sister network, SPEED, as well as NBC Sports, which broadcasts the final two motocross races from each location.
