Monster Jam Roars Into Snapdragon Stadium for Two Epic Weekends

Twelve-thousand-pound trucks flying through the air, gravity-defying stunts, and world-champion drivers competing for the Stadium Championship Series West title – Monster Jam is coming back to San Diego for two action-packed weekends this month.

Snapdragon Stadium hosts the spectacle with unexpected, unscripted competition where fans help score drivers in real time.

Three New Trucks Make Their SoCal Debut

San Diego gets first dibs on three trucks making their Southern California debut. Tech Deck Wreck Deck treats the stadium like a massive skatepark, inspired by skateboarding culture and designed to catch big air like it’s hitting a vert ramp.

The truck was first unveiled at the X Games in Salt Lake City, where it grinded down a 60-foot rail as the Kickoff Stunt before Monster Jam World Finals XXIV.

Sparkle Smash brings six tons of colorful unicorn charisma with a bold attitude, driven by Kayla Blood, a two-time “Extreme Air of the Year” winner. And Bailey Circuit, inspired by Ringling’s fan-favorite robotic pup, marks a first-of-its-kind collaboration between The Greatest Show On Earth and Monster Jam – complete with tail wags and a nose for adventure.

How the Competition Works

Twelve top drivers battle it out in three competitions: Racing, Skills, and Freestyle, where trucks defy physics and attempt the impossible.

Fans score the drivers based on their skills, stunts, and saves, helping crown the Event Champion. The competition is fierce – drivers are vying for the Stadium Championship Series West title and a coveted spot at Monster Jam World Finals in Salt Lake City on July 4th weekend.

The lineup includes Tyler Menninga in the legendary Grave Digger, Ryan Anderson celebrating 15 years of Son-uva Digger in 2026, Bryce Kenny behind the wheel of Tech Deck Wreck Deck, plus Zombie, El Toro Loco, Megalodon, Black Pearl, Wild Side, Vendetta, and Shell Shocked.

Start Early With the Pit Party

Both Saturdays and Sundays kick off with the Monster Jam Pit Party, where we can get up close with the trucks, snag selfies, collect autographs from drivers, and see how these 12,000-pound machines are built to withstand competition.

About an hour before each event, Monster Jam Trackside features driver interviews, pit crew sneak peeks, and giveaways before opening ceremonies set the stage.

See you there!

Two weekends of massive trucks, world-class drivers, and competition where your outside voice is not just allowed but encouraged.
