The World Supercross Canadian GP Returns to Vancouver This November

The roar of motocross engines is coming back to Vancouver! (And no, it’s not your neighbour’s dirt bike revving down the alley.) On November 15, BC Place will host the World Supercross Canadian Grand Prix, bringing international riders and thousands of fans together for a night of high-flying action.

What is World Supercross?

Supercross takes the thrill of motocross indoors, transforming arenas like BC Place into dirt-filled battlegrounds. Think Mad Max, but in a stadium.

Riders launch off towering jumps, carve into sharp berms (those are dirt banks, for us city folk) and battle bar-to-bar to the finish. The World Supercross Championship (WSX) is the sport’s only truly global competition. This year, each of the competition’s five rounds happens on a different continent, with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Buenos Aires, the Gold Coast, and Cape Town.

What’s new in 2025?

Supercross fans already had a fantastic time when WSX came to Vancouver last year, and this time around promises to be even better with its most competitive rider lineup to date. Jason Anderson and Justin Hill will be battling it out for the SX1 title, and you can expect a heated SX2 showdown between Max Anstie, the 2023 world champion, and Shane McElrath, last year’s title holder.

This season also ushers in a bold new look for WSX. There’s a brand-new globe-inspired logo that speaks to the series’ international scale and worldwide fan base. Its rugged “W” design, inspired by the criss-crossing tread of supercross tyres, reflects the energy and momentum of the sport.

In Vancouver specifically, fans can look forward to a massive rematch between reigning World Supercross 450 Champion Eli Tomac and two-time World Supercross 450 Champion Ken Roczen. Last year, Tomac took the overall win. Any bets on if this stays true in November?

Where is the event?

The Canadian GP marks the third round on the 2025 season calendar and will take place in the city’s iconic downtown stadium, BC Place. Its central location means that fans can easily get there on their own steam or via public transit. Then, once the racing ends, Vancouver’s Saturday night life is just steps away.

What is accessibility like at BC Place?

BC Place has dedicated accessible seating areas throughout the venue with an unobstructed view of the track. You can purchase these tickets online by applying the accessible seat filter, or by calling Ticketmaster Accessible at 1-855-682-6736. If you’re joining a group in one of the private suites, you should still call ahead to let the team know so they can make any modifications as needed.

Service dogs are more than welcome at the venue, just keep in mind that this may be the loudest environment they ever step into.

On the day, use the dedicated accessible entrance on Pacific Boulevard. Hosting staff are on hand to help you get to your seat.

Where should I stay?

The stadium’s downtown location makes it easy to find a place to stay that’s just steps away (literally) from the main event. Stay at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver or the DOUGLAS for a full entertainment-driven experience and a late-night trip to the casino.

Where to eat nearby

For our foodie Supercross fans (I know you’re out there), downtown Vancouver has so much to offer. Whether you’re grabbing a bite before the race or planning on toasting the winners afterwards, you’re going to be spoiled for choice. Some of our favourites just outside the BC Place doors include Chambar, with its Belgian-West Coast fusion and Fanny Bay Oyster Bar. Go a little closer to the downtown core and you’ll find per se Social Corner, a large modern space that offers a delightful mix of tapas, pasta and what my husband calls the best burger in town.

Make a weekend of it

Travelers can turn race day into a full Vancouver getaway. You can spend Saturday morning exploring Yaletown’s coffee shops, boutiques and patios, and stroll the seawall along False Creek after a hearty lunch.

Once the adrenaline (and the ringing in your ears) from the Grand Prix has worn off, use your Sunday to explore the food market at Granville Island, put your own daring spirit to the test at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park or explore our many local breweries.

From the crack of the throttle to the roar of the crowd, the World Supercross Canadian GP is set to electrify Vancouver on November 15. Tickets are available now. Grab your spot and we’ll see you there for a night of motocross adrenaline.
