2026 AMA National Dual Sport Series Schedule

Two-day dual sport events across the USA where riders can tackle single-track trails and backroads.

Street-legal dirt bike enthusiasts across the United States continue to have the opportunity to get together and ride at events thanks to the AMA National Dual Sport series. There’s one more round in 2026 than last year (18 instead of 17), and one event that doesn’t return to the calendar is Ozark 200 in New Blaine, Arkansas. New on the schedule is Monkey Butt 2 Day in Newark, New York, and LA-Barstow to Vegas is back on the schedule and serves as the finale as it did in 2024.

Beta USA returns as title sponsor of the series and has offered up a motorcycle that one lucky rider will be awarded at the end of the year. All participants in the series are automatically entered to win.

“We support the AMA Dual Sport series because we share the same passion: the freedom to explore,” Beta USA Marketing Manager Bryan Wunsch said. “By sponsoring this series, we aren’t just showcasing our brand; we are ensuring that the dual sport community has organized, high-quality, and sustainable events to enjoy.”

The AMA National Dual Sport series is intended for serious off-road-oriented dual sport motorcycles. It recommends those with larger adventure-style bikes consider the AMA National Adventure Riding series, some of which overlap.Allan Brown
