Monster Jam Returns to Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium!

Monster Jam is roaring back into Tampa Bay at Raymond James Stadium for two days of action-packed, unforgettable competitions that will leave every kid and kid at heart in absolute awe on February 28-March 1, 2026. If you haven't been, it's a must-experience and one of our favorite things to do this weekend with the kids!

What can you expect at Monster Jam?

Monster Jam is a real competition. Nothing is scripted, so anything can happen! The 12,000-pound Monster Jam trucks push all limits in Freestyle, Skills, and Racing competitions while doing backflips, vertical two-wheel skills, and racing at speeds up to 70 miles per hour.

It features world-class athletes locked in intense competitions of speed and skill. Fans will get to witness heated rivalries, high-flying stunts, and fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship.

It's pretty exciting to watch, whether you're a Monster Jam fan or not. Fans of all ages will have a blast cheering on the brightly colored, uniquely themed trucks!

Fun Tip: There are VIP experiences you can buy incluidng the 2026 Monster Jam VIP Racer Challenge. Kids will get a chance to reace electric powered vehicles on the race track during intermission!

The Pre-Show: Monster Jam Pit Party

We highly recommend attending the pre-show Monster Jam Pit Party! The Pit Party is a chance for you and the kids to get up close and personal with the trucks and even meet the drivers, which is always a hit for the youngest fans! There are plenty of awesome photo opportunities as well, so keep that phone ready.

Fans can see the massive trucks up close, meet their favorite drivers and crews, get autographs, and take pictures.  Activities include the Sand Box play area, UNOH tire demonstration, coloring and temporary tattoo station, and new photo ops, including the chance to take a photo with the championship trophy!

You can purchase Pit Party tickets, which start at about $20 + fees, with your Monster Jam show ticket or after you've already bought your tickets. Buy Pit Party Tickets here.

Do you need hearing protection at Monster Jam?

You’ll definitely want to invest in some of those noise-reducing headphones for your kids because it can get loud (obviously). You can purchase them at the show or bring your own. The little foam inserts work great, too, and are much more cost-effective.

Monster Jam and Hot Wheels

Another really cool thing is for kids to see their Hot Wheels Monster Trucks in real life! You probably have a growing collection of Hot Wheels trucks, so bring them with you! The kids will get a total kick out of it. If you forget…don’t worry because they’ll have plenty for sale at the event, along with other fun-themed merch!
