2023 Spanish Motocross Championship

The 2023 Spanish Motocross Championship season is the 65th Spanish Motocross Championship season.[1]

The series will have seven rounds across the country, running from February to May. José Butrón is the reigning champion in the Elite-MX1, after winning his eighth title in 2022.[2] David Braceras is the reigning champion in Elite-MX2 after he won his first title in the previous season.[3]

In 2023 points will be awarded to the top-five qualifiers for the first time. These points will not count towards the overall total for a rider per round, but will count towards the points total in the championship standings.[4]

The series will hold its second round at a new circuit in Lugo, Galicia named after two-time world champion Jorge Prado.[5]
