2023 Spanish Motocross Championship


The 2023 Spanish Motocross Championship season was the 65th Spanish Motocross Championship season.
The series had seven rounds across the country, running from February to May. José Butrón was the reigning champion in the Elite-MX1, after winning his eighth title in 2022. David Braceras was the reigning champion in Elite-MX2 after he won his first title in the previous season. Butrón was able to successfully defend his title in Elite-MX1, ahead of longterm rival Carlos Campano, whilst Gerard Congost took his first Elite-MX2 title.
For 2023 points were awarded to the top-five qualifiers for the first time. These points did not count towards the overall total for a rider per round, but counted towards the points total in the championship standings.
The series held its second round at a new circuit in Lugo, Galicia named after two-time world champion Jorge Prado.
