The 2026 Monster Jam lineups and tour schedules were announced last week as we presented Monster Jam Game Night 2.0, which, despite drivers tearing up my makeshift house at the World Finals Studios, was a ton of fun, and anytime I can play even a small part and bringing you the schedule I am 100 percent in. Now that we have the \u201cWho, What, Where, and When\u201d here are my five takeaways from the 2026 tour lineups:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Four Sparkle Smash Monster Jam Trucks!!!<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>If you know me then you aren\u2019t surprised that this is where I am starting. Sparkle Smash has taken Monster Jam by storm after one full year, which we will celebrate during the Fall Stadium Series with five stunts, also known as \u201cSparkle Smash Bash.\u201d That celebration will roll into next season when Kayla Blood returns to a stadium series along with Jamie Sullivan, who will make her highly-anticipated stadium series debut. Loghan Ashline gets a well-deserved full-time ride, and we will see the debut of rookie driver Kylie Kent representing Send-It Motorsports. I\u2019m here for all the Sparkle Smash fun!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. TBD Excitement!<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>A lot of the buzz on social media has been based on those infamous letters that always leave room for discussion, of course I am talking about \u201cTBD\u201d which stands for \u201cTo Be Determined.\u201d We are getting a second Bailey Circuit Monster Jam truck on Stadium Championship Series West with a yet-to-be-named driver and the speculation has flooded the message boards. Who do you think it will be? In a major surprise, Camden Murphy moves out of Classroom Crusher after one year and Blake Granger leaves Monster Mutt Dalmatian after his World Finals Freestyle win, leaving a lot of our fans to wonder if they will both be debuting a new truck. I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on this as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. CP3 Gets a Seat!<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Speaking of Classroom Crusher, it\u2019s most certainly not going away, but we will be seeing a new school bus driver take the wheel on Arena Championship Series Central as Charles Pauken III gets his first opportunity as a driver in Monster Jam. The second-generation driver has been wrenching his way towards this opportunity and there isn\u2019t a driver or technician in the sport who doesn\u2019t think he deserves it. The son of the legendary Charlie Pauken will get his chance to prove his skill against the likes of Weston Anderson and Brianna Mahon when this series opens as Freestyle Mania in Greensboro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. A Rivalry Renewed<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Stadium Championship Series West is absolutely loaded as we will see the next chapter in the Tyler Menninga vs. Bari Musawwir story that went down to the wire last season in Pittsburgh. This series will also reignite one of the best rivalries we\u2019ve see on the track in recent memory as Ryan Anderson will once again lineup against Tyler Menninga on a weekly basis. These two drivers have had some great battles over the year going for series gold and, after a season on different tours, this one is sure to be the best yet. Who ya got on Team Grave Digger?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Stacked Independent Teams<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>2026 will also see the championship series debut of Deidra Garner behind the wheel of Megalodon as she suits up for Team Over Bored. Jamey Garner will now have four trucks on Stadium Championship Series West, while Jim Koehler and Team Scream have four trucks competing on Stadium Championship Series East. The Pagliarulos are back, albeit without Nick, but Matt and Mike are ready to run it back in 2026. Team Throttle Monster will return with six trucks in competition which includes Dalton Widner\u2019s Shell Shock\u2019ed and another one of those infamous \u201cTBD\u201d\u2019s in Velociraptor. Send-It Motorsports will bring four trucks with the Zimmers returning to Arena Championship Series East along with the previously mentioned CP3 and Kylie Kent on the Central series. Also keeping it in the family are the Tuluchka\u2019s where in 2026 Brandan gets a new ride in Zombie and finally we also see the return of the Robbins brothers after a dynamite rookie season in which Triton was named Monster Jam \u201cRookie of the Year.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
