Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship 2021 Calendar, updated 17 December Glendale Removed, Orlando and Atlanta Added Salt Lake City to Host Final Two Rounds The FIM and Feld Entertainment, Inc. announced the complete schedule for the upcoming 2021 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season. The three rounds originally scheduled for Glendale (Arizona) were removed from the schedule because the current attendance restrictions and local health mandates have created a difficult environment in which to plan this far in advance. The series will now split those races between Orlando (Florida), and Salt Lake City (Utah). After the trio of races in Indianapolis (Indiana), the series will venture to Camping World Stadium in Orlando for two races on Saturday, February 13 and Saturday, February 20, followed by the annual visit to the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach (Florida) on Saturday, March 6. The Arlington (Texas) dates remain the same – Saturday, March 13, Tuesday, March 16 and Saturday, March 20 at AT&T Stadium. The three previously unannounced events will now take place in Atlanta (Georgia) at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 10, Tuesday, April 13 and Saturday, April 17. The final two races of the season will take place at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Saturday, April 24 and Saturday, May 1.
