Supercross organizers have announced a series of rule changes for the 2027 season, including raising the minimum age for competitors, reducing the field size, and mandating chest protectors.
The changes were reported by Dan Beaver of NBC Sports on November 5, 2026. The new minimum age requirement aims to improve rider safety, while the smaller field is intended to enhance race quality. Chest protectors will now be compulsory for all participants.
