Feld Entertainment has reverted to its original plan of commencing 2021 Monster Energy Supercross with the 250SX East division in Houston, which will see 250SX West now commence in Orlando a month later.

It was announced with this week’s complete schedule that 250SX West would be instead opening in Houston, which had major effects with the teams that had been preparing for a mid-February commencement in line with the initial outline.

That concern and contractual obligations of the 250SX teams caused organizers to switch back to having 250SX East open the series on 16 January at NRG Stadium, before 250SX West starts from round eight of the season on 20 February in Florida. Both regions will complete nine races each, including the annual Showdown at Salt Lake City’s finals on 1 May.
