The first round of the 2023 World Supercross Championship took place in Birmingham, England, and it was a celebration for the defending champions. Ken Roczen dominated the three 450 races by winning the first and third, while the second race had some controversy. Justin Hill was declared the winner after both Vince Friese and Ken Roczen were penalized for jumping on a red cross flag. Despite the penalty, Roczen still secured the overall victory in the 450 class. In the 250 class, defending champion Shane McElrath battled with Max Anstie and emerged as the winner. This event marks the start of the 2023 season, which consists of six stops.

Last year, the WSX pilot season was launched at Principality Stadium,Cardiff to over 35,000 fans before it headed down under, where 50,000 fans witnessed the finale across two nights at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. In the 2022 Championship, Ken Roczen from Germany emerged as the winner in the WSX class, and Shane McElrath from the USA claimed victory in the SX2 class. WSX offers a total prize money of US$250,000 to be won at each round across the two racing classes – WSX (450cc) and SX2 (250cc). Additionally, the Championship provides financial support to teams and riders.
