Monster Jam is headed to Sunrise for a weekend of nonstop excitement! Experience the roar of the engines and jaw-dropping action at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23, 2026. Fans can expect the unexpected, unscripted, and unforgettable adrenaline rush of Monster Jam where 12,000-pound trucks stand on two wheels and fly through the air in competitions of speed and skill.

The world’s best drivers tear up the dirt as they battle for the Event Championship in three competitions: Racing, 2 Wheel Skills, and everyone’s favorite, Freestyle, where MonsterJam trucks defy the laws of physics and do the impossible.  Fans will be right in the middle of the action, helping to crown the Event Champion as they get to score the drivers in real time based on their skills, stunts, and saves.

This year’s lineup features two fearless female drivers proving that talent, determination, and horsepower have no limits. Behind the wheel of the legendary Grave Digger, Krysten Anderson proudly carries on the iconic legacy of her father, Monster Jam legend Dennis Anderson, with the same adrenaline-fueled passion that made the truck famous. Joining her is Kayla Blood, commanding the bold and vibrant Sparkle Smash, as she delivers high-flying stunts and fierce competition while inspiring the next generation of female fans.

Female drivers continue to help redefine what the sport looks like, demonstrating that MonsterJam is driven by talent, skill, and determination rather than stereotypes. Seeing women compete encourages young girls and aspiring drivers to envision themselves in motorsports.
