Saturday's Supercross 2024 Round 9 in Birmingham: How to watch, start times, schedule, TV info
The second of three new markets in 2024 kicks off this week at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama as the Monster Energy Supercross season hits its halfway point.
While it's scheduled to rain overnight, there is practically no chance of precipitation in the forecast on Saturday and cool temperatures are in the mid-60s.

Jett Lawrence will seek to become the first rider in 2024 to win back-to-back races after a dominant performance in Daytona and a new "it’s all business attitude" toward the stadium season. But the field has realized he is fallible, and once the best supercross riders sense a weakness, they are more than capable of exploiting it.
A razor thin points' margin in the 250 East class pits Cameron McAdoo against last week's winner Tom Vialle in the search for momentum as this division has one more race before handing the reigns over to the West Coast riders. They will need to catch red plate holder Max Anstie first.
