Following Round 5 of the Monster Energy SMX World Championship™ at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Feld Motor Sports and Monster Energy are pleased to report that more than 2 million Monster Energy cans have been recycled through the popular Monster Energy Supercross FanFest recycling program. Since 2009 in select Supercross markets, fans who arrive at FanFest with an empty can of Monster Energy have received complimentary entry into the pre‑race festivities.
State Farm Stadium regularly hosts one of the largest FanFest events of the season, and this year’s pre‑race FanFest drew a record‑setting crowd of more than 30,000 fans, pushing the total number of recycled Monster Energy cans to 2,004,934. FanFest features a wide range of activities to compliment race day, from athlete autograph and qualifying sessions to VIP experiences. Glendale FanFest also played host to Round 1 of the Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge. Round 2 will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah at Rice-Eccles Stadium on May 8-9 and Round 3 will take place at an SMX postseason event to conclude the series, specific round still TBA.
Monster Energy’s core sustainability mission emphasizes reducing its environmental impact through responsible packaging, renewable energy use, and long‑term resource stewardship — because Monster Green isn’t just a color. Monster practices green initiatives such as using 100% recyclable aluminum cans made with up to 73% recycled content, installing solar panels across major facilities, and setting science‑based emissions‑reduction targets to combat climate change. Additional efforts include cutting landfill waste by eliminating single‑use plastic bottles, improving water efficiency, and supporting reforestation by funding the planting of 100,000 trees in wildfire‑affected areas.
In a current economic climate where consumers are focused on finding the right value for their dollar, this program by Monster Energy and Monster Energy Supercross shines through. A typical Supercross race day can be up to nine hours long for fans looking to take advantage of every minute available. In 14 of the 17 Supercross markets for the 2026 season, a Monster Energy can buys fans six hours of access and entertainment.
Supercross fans can expect this promotion to continue in the coming years. In August, it was announced that Monster Energy has extended its title partnership of Monster Energy Supercross for an additional five years and will now serve as the title partner of the entire Monster Energy SMX World Championship series. The FanFest recycling program will remain in effect during future Supercross seasons, the postseason Playoffs, and the World Championship Final. Those cities, dates and venues were recently announced in January—Columbus, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; and Ridgedale, Missouri host the highly anticipated ending to 2026.
The Monster Energy Can FanFest promotion is not available in all markets on the Supercross schedule. In 2026, Round 8 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, Round 9 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Round 11 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan will not offer the can redemption program. Tickets for the remainder of the Monster Energy Supercross season and the entire SMX World Championship series, including the postseason, are currently on sale.
