    On Oct. 28, the press conference for the Finals (Ziyang) of the 2026 China Motocross Championship (CMX) was held in Ziyang. The conference announced that the finals will take place from Nov. 28 to 29 at the Ziyang Linkong Outdoor Sports Park. From Nov. 27 to 29, a series of motorcycle culture events will be held in succession.

    As the highest-level, most influential, and most competitive professional motocross event in China, the finals will bring together nearly 100 top riders from across the country to compete in eight categories, covering four major divisions: Professional, Domestic Model, Youth, and Women's. From elite adult competition to youth development programs and domestic model races, top national riders and teams from mainstream manufacturers will compete on the same track, showcasing a pinnacle contest of speed and passion, as well as skill and endurance, comprehensively demonstrating the depth of talent and diverse appeal of China's motocross sport.

    The press conference also revealed that Ziyang has secured the hosting rights for the FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP), the highest-level global event in motocross, for three consecutive years from 2027 to 2029.

    The Ziyang Linkong Outdoor Sports Park, which will host both events, covers a total area of 279 mu (approximately 18.6 hectares). Its main facilities include an off-road riding track and supporting infrastructure, a comprehensive motorcycle sports arena, a motorcycle plaza, a motorcycle culture exhibition center, and commercial facilities. Phase I construction, which serves as the core functional area for the finals, is currently advancing with intensive efforts on key projects including track refinement, starting gates, safety barriers, timing and scoring systems, and utilities supply during the event, ensuring the venue is in optimal condition to guarantee the smooth running of the finals. Phase II construction and supporting facilities are proceeding in sequence and are expected to be fully completed and put into operation by September 2027.

    Tickets for the event are available in three tiers: single-day tickets for Nov. 28 are priced at 29.9 yuan, accompanied by a 30-yuan on-site consumption voucher; single-day tickets for Nov. 29 are priced at 39.9 yuan, accompanied by a 40-yuan on-site consumption voucher; and two-day passes are priced at 59.9 yuan, accompanied by a 60-yuan on-site consumption voucher. The consumption vouchers can be used at designated vendors at the event venue.

    In recent years, leveraging its resource endowments, industrial foundation, and advantages of proximity to airports, Ziyang has identified the intelligent two-wheeler and motorcycle equipment industries as key tracks for fostering new quality productive forces, continuously strengthening leading enterprises, supplementing industrial chains, clustering industries, and optimizing the industrial ecosystem. A number of key projects, including Sichuan Keeway Group and the Southwest Manufacturing Base of Yiwei Ougui AI All-Terrain Vehicles, have been established successively, highlighting a growing industrial agglomeration effect. Ziyang now accounts for more than 70% of the province's two-wheeler exports, becoming a major production and export base for motorcycle equipment in Sichuan Province. Meanwhile, Ziyang clearly recognizes the need to continuously enhance its industrial visibility, industry discourse power, and brand influence. Hosting the CMX Finals represents a significant measure for Ziyang to elevate its city branding and empower industrial upgrading.

    Moving forward, Ziyang will adhere to the principle of "competitions as the core, industry as the priority, and consumption as the key", coordinating the organization of professional races, the Motorcycle Equipment (Two-Wheeler) Industry Ecosystem Conference, and cultural, sports, and tourism consumption activities. Taking the opportunity of hosting the FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) consecutively from 2027 to 2029, the city will deepen the integrated development of competitions with industry, culture, tourism, and consumption, converting event traffic into development momentum and continuing to polish the city brand of "Ziyang is a Great Place".
