If you’ve ever wanted permission to be as loud as possible indoors, this is it. Monster Jam is roaring back into Albuquerque, taking over Tingley Coliseum March 13–15, 2026, for a weekend of gravity-defying action, family fun, and 12,000-pound trucks doing the impossible.
Nothing compares to the one and only Monster Jam. It’s not scripted. It’s not predictable. And it’s certainly not quiet.
For three days, some of the world’s best drivers will battle it out in high-energy competitions that combine speed, skill, and jaw-dropping stunts. These aren’t just oversized trucks — they’re finely engineered machines capable of standing on two wheels, soaring through the air, and pulling off backflips that leave entire arenas on their feet.
The action unfolds across three main competitions: Racing, 2 Wheel Skills, and the fan-favorite Freestyle. Racing delivers head-to-head intensity as drivers tear up the dirt in pursuit of the fastest time. 2 Wheel Skills highlights balance and precision, with trucks defying physics in vertical tricks and daring saves. Freestyle is where creativity explodes — drivers launch into the air and push their machines to the limit in an all-out bid to wow the crowd.
And the best part? Fans help decide the winner. Audience members score drivers in real time based on their stunts, saves, and overall performance, ultimately crowning the Event Champion. It’s interactive, electric, and uniquely Monster Jam.
This year’s Albuquerque lineup features some of the biggest names and most iconic trucks in the sport. Fans can cheer on Adam Anderson behind the wheel of the legendary Grave Digger®, a name synonymous with Monster Jam dominance. Sparkle Smash®, driven by Jamie Sullivan, brings bold personality and unicorn-powered flair to the dirt. Reigning Monster Jam World Finals 2 Wheel Skills Champion Tristan England takes control of JCB DIGatronä, ready to showcase elite precision and power.
Also hitting the track are Megalodon® driven by Kevin Crocker, Lucas Stabilizerä driven by Cynthia Gauthier, Mayhem driven by Chris Koehler, Jester driven by Matt Pagliarulo, and Excalibur driven by Mike Pagliarulo. (Truck and driver lineup subject to change.)
These athletes are among the best in the world — both men and women — mastering vehicles that weigh as much as six tons and handling them with agility that seems almost unreal.
The fun doesn’t start when the engines fire up. It begins hours earlier at the Monster Jam Pit Party®, happening Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (with an event ticket and Pit Party pass). This behind-the-scenes experience gives fans the chance to see the trucks up close, snap selfies, collect autographs, and meet the drivers. It’s also a rare opportunity to learn how these 12,000-pound beasts are built to withstand the punishment of competition.
For those who want to maximize the excitement, the Monster Jam Trackside Experience kicks off about an hour before each event. Featuring driver interviews, pit crew sneak peeks, and giveaways, it sets the stage for the high-energy opening ceremonies that follow.
Friday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 14 at 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, March 15 at 12:00 p.m.
All events take place at Tingley Coliseum, located at 300 San Pedro NE in Albuquerque.
Tickets and Pit Party passes are available now at Ticketmaster.com and at the venue box office. Preferred Customers get early access to the best seats, and fans can sign up for free to receive an exclusive pre-sale code. Ticket prices are subject to change, and additional venue or ticketing fees may apply.
With more than 350 live events globally each year, Monster Jam has built a worldwide reputation for high-octane entertainment. Produced by Feld Motor Sports, the event is part of a larger portfolio that includes some of the biggest names in arena and stadium motorsports.
But for one weekend in March, it’s all about Albuquerque. Monster Jam is the kind of event where your outside voice is encouraged. Where dirt flies, engines roar, and the energy inside the arena feels almost as big as the trucks themselves. It’s where kids become lifelong fans, parents rediscover the thrill of spectacle, and everyone leaves with stories about the moment a 12,000-pound machine soared through the air. When the lights dim and the engines ignite, one thing is certain: this is not just another night out. It’s Monster Jam — and it’s unforgettable.
