Indian Supercross Racing League Season 3 Adds New Indian Futures Category

A total of 146 athletes from 21 countries have registered for Season 3 of the Indian Supercross Racing League, with rider sign-ups now officially closed. The upcoming season introduces a new 250cc category exclusively for Indian riders, named the 250cc Group A Foreign Bikes only – Indian Futures category, which has drawn 30 registrations. Past seasons featured three classes consisting of 450cc and 250cc for international riders alongside a mixed 250cc category for Indian and Asian competitors. Every team must field two riders per category, which will increase overall Indian representation across the tournament.

Teams And Schedule

Seven teams will compete in the league this year, featuring the new entrant PBG Racing backed by the Punit Balan Group. Major motorcycle brands Honda, KTM, Yamaha, and Kawasaki are supplying the bikes, with Honda also stepping up as the new title sponsor for BB Racing. While host venues remain unannounced, three rounds are confirmed to take place. Round 1 is scheduled for December 19 to 20, followed by Round 2 on January 23 to 24, 2027, and the final round on February 6 to 7, 2027. Star international names signed up for the season include nine-time Australian champion and Season 2 winner Matt Moss alongside former MX2 world champion Jordi Tixier. Top Indian riders participating include Rugved Barguje, Prajwal Vishwanath, Shlok Ghorpade, and Ikshan Shanbhag.

Context

Supercross racing involves high-speed dirt bike competition on indoor tracks filled with steep jumps and sharp obstacles, usually built inside city centres for spectator access. Specialized leagues give local racers direct exposure to world-class champions and professional team structures.
