Set for May 1-3 at Hardesty National BMX Stadium, the event brings together top U.S. and international riders for the third stop of the USA BMX Pro Series, racing from the sport’s national headquarters in Tulsa.

TULSA, Okla. (April 30, 2026)—The 2026 USA BMX National Series returns home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 1-3 as the Legacy Nationals take over Hardesty National BMX Stadium, the sport’s global headquarters. Also hosting the USA BMX Pro Series, the event brings together top professional and amateur riders from across the United States and around the world for a weekend of nonstop competition on the stadium’s signature dual-hill track. “Legacy” speaks to more than a name, it reflects the riders, moments and milestones that built BMX into what it is today, now showcased where much of that history was made. Set inside a state-of-the-art facility built for racing at every level, the Legacy Nationals delivers a premier showcase of elite BMX – and a return to the place where the sport’s past, present and future meet. 

The Legacy Nationals mark the 12th stop of the 2026 USA BMX National Series and stop three of the 2026 USA BMX Pro Series. The three-day BMX competition will be held at Hardesty National BMX Stadium at 490 N Lansing Avenue in Tulsa. Races begin at 2:30 p.m. Friday, 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday. 

“Tulsa is a BMX town and racers and families alike know that to compete against the best, you need to come to Tulsa,” said Jason Suitt, Senior Director of Sports Sales, Tulsa Sports Commission. “Legacy Nationals always delivers thrilling, top-tier competition, and 2026 will be no different as Tulsa continues to grow and thrive as a premier destination for high-quality sporting events of all kinds.” 

The Legacy Nationals offer more than just national-level professional and amateur competition. On Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3, the Legacy Nationals event will host the USA BMX Pro Series, the third stop of the 2026 pro season. The Pro Series draws the nation’s top professional BMX racers, battling for critical points in the season-long championship race. With elite talent, fast laps and little room for error, the Pro Series brings a sharper edge and heightened intensity to an already electric weekend.

The event also serves as a UCI C1 (Class 1) sanctioned event, which means riders can collect points for international rankings that will help dictate each country’s World Championship seedings and future Olympic qualifications. With divisions spanning from Juniors and Under-23s up to the Elites, the Legacy Nationals serves as the ultimate proving ground.

“Hosting the Legacy Nationals in Tulsa carries a different weight for us,” said Jacob Nelson, Track Operator at Hardesty National BMX Stadium. “This isn’t just another stop on the calendar, it’s where the sport lives year-round, where riders can feel the history in the venue and see how far BMX has come, all while pushing what’s possible on the track today.”

The full Legacy Nationals event schedule can be viewed here. At Hardesty National BMX Stadium, riders and spectators can experience Olympic-caliber racing and high-speed action on the sport’s legendary dual-hill track. Located on-site, the National BMX Hall of Fame & Museum offers a look at the bikes, riders and moments that shaped BMX history. Step outside beyond the track, and Tulsa delivers a buzzing arts scene and green spaces like Gathering Place and Guthrie Green, plenty to dig into when the racing pauses.
