With tickets now on general sale for the 2027 Arenacross Tour, thousands of fans are already securing their seats for another winter of bar-to-bar racing, Freestyle Motocross and indoor action.
But if you’ve never been to Arenacross before, or you’re wondering whether to make the trip again next February, here are ten reasons why it’s become one of the highlights of the British motocross calendar.
- You never miss a lap
There’s a reason Arenacross is built for the indoor arena. Every seat offers a clear view of the entire track, meaning you can follow every lap from gate drop to the chequered flag. No walking between sections. No trying to work out where the action is. Just uninterrupted racing from start to finish.
- You’re closer to the action than anywhere else
Every seat is just metres from the track. You don’t just watch the racing, you feel it. The intensity of the starts, the precision through the rhythm sections and every last-lap battle play out right in front of you.
- The atmosphere is unlike anything else in British motocross
Put thousands of passionate fans inside an arena with race bikes, Freestyle Motocross, lights, music and pyrotechnics, and you create something special. The enclosed arena amplifies every gate drop, every pass and every chequered flag, creating an atmosphere that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else.
- February suddenly becomes something to look forward to
Let’s be honest, British winters aren’t known for perfect motocross weather. Arenacross changes that. Whatever’s happening outside, you’re inside the arena, warm and dry, with a cold beer in your hand and two-and-a-half hours of racing and entertainment ahead of you.
- It’s become the annual meeting place for the British off-road community
Arenacross isn’t just where the racing happens, it’s where the sport comes together. Riders, race teams, manufacturers, industry professionals and fans all under one roof. It’s the place to catch up, talk bikes and kick off another season together (especially in Birmingham this year…)
- Birmingham gets even bigger in 2027
For the first time, Birmingham welcomes Dirt Bike Live, a brand-new daytime event bringing together manufacturers, exhibitors, brands and riders before Arenacross takes over the arena in the evening. You can also…
- Watch practice and qualifying for the first time
By adding a Dirt Bike Live ticket, Birmingham fans can experience something that’s never previously been open to the public, Arenacross practice, qualifying and show rehearsals. Watch riders dial in the track, fine-tune their bikes and prepare for the night’s racing before the gates even drop.
- It’s more than just a race meeting
Championship racing may be at the heart of Arenacross, but it’s only part of the story. Freestyle Motocross, live production, music, lighting and pyrotechnics combine to create an evening that feels as much like a live show as it does a race series.
- It’s incredible value
With 2026 ticket prices frozen and family tickets available from under £100*, Arenacross remains one of the best-value live motorsport events in the UK. And if you’re heading to Birmingham, adding Dirt Bike Live turns it into almost 12 hours immersed in dirt bike culture.
- Because once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand
Fourteen years. More than 100 live shows. Over 600,000 fans.
Arenacross has earned its place as one of the highlights of the British motocross calendar because it offers something genuinely different. Whether you’re a racer, a weekend rider or simply someone who loves the sport, it’s an experience every motocross fan should have at least once.
Matt Bates, Managing Director of Arenacross, said:
“I’ve spent most of my life around motocross, and I genuinely believe every fan should experience Arenacross at least once. It isn’t trying to replace outdoor racing, it’s something completely different. The intensity of the racing, the atmosphere inside the arena and just how close you are to the action create an experience that’s hard to put into words.
Every winter we welcome dedicated motocross fans alongside families and first-time visitors, and they all leave talking about the same thing: the atmosphere. For me, that’s the biggest compliment we could ask for, because it’s what we’ve been trying to build since day one.”
