The series had three rounds across the eastern part of The Netherlands, running from March to May. Calvin Vlaanderen was the reigning champion in the 500cc class, after winning his first title in 2022. Rick Elzinga was the reigning champion in the 250cc class after he won his first title in the previous season.
Jeffrey Herlings was able to record a perfect season in the 500cc class, winning all three rounds with double race wins. This would be Herlings' fourth Dutch Masters of Motocross title overall and his third in the 500cc class. Kay de Wolf won the 250cc title in similarly dominant fashion, winning all three rounds and five out of six races within that.
