The Brazilian Motocross Championship (Portuguese: Campeonato Brasileiro de Motocross) is the premier domestic Brazilian Motocross series, sanctioned by the Confederação Brasileira de Motociclismo.

The series runs annually throughout the spring and summer months. The premier classes are MX1 and MX2, which are supported at each round by classes for junior, youth and women riders.

History

The first motocross races in Brazil were held in 1971, with the inaugural formally-constituted national championship taking place two years later.[1] The first fifteen years of the series saw periods of domination by certain riders, particularly Nivanor Bernardi and Pedro Bernardo Raymundo "Moronguinho" - who won 14 national championships between 1976 and 1985.[2] American Rodney Smith became the first non-native competitor to become Brazilian champion, when he won both titles in 1986.[3]

A new generation of Brazilian riders would come to the forth during the late 1980's and 1990's. With the exception of Anthony Pocorobba's 1999 triumph in the 250 class, Brazilian riders would be unchallenged until the 2010's. The championship saw an influx of foreign riders during the 2010's, the most notable being 2010 MX3 world champion Carlos Campano, who won five titles between 2012 and 2018. This trend continued into the 2020's, with riders such as Jeremy Van Horebeek, Stephen Rubini and from the 2026 season, Glenn Coldenhoff joining the championship.[4]

From the 2026 season, several rounds of the championship will double as rounds of the new South American Motocross Championship.[5]

Broadcast

The comprehensive broadcast of each round of the Brazilian Motocross Championship is currently via a live stream on the SportbayTV YouTube channel.
