Riders who have qualified for a 250 license through the AMA Road to Supercross have two competition seasons to apply for their licenses before they will have to requalify. For example, a rider who qualified for a 250 license during the 2025 AMA Road to Supercross season may apply in 2026 or 2027.
To apply for a 250 license, after acquiring the necessary number of points, go to the “Online Registration” tab on the AMA Supercross website.
AMA-licensed riders who have not competed in AMA-sanctioned events for a period of three years may lose their prior classification.
Applicants renewing a license that expired more than three years ago must meet present requirements for a Supercross license.
This requirement may be waived under special circumstances through an appeal made to the AMA.
More information can be found in the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship rulebook or by contacting AMA Supercross Coordinator Connie Fleming at cfleming@ama-cycle.org or (614) 856-1900 ext. 1258.
