The Clubs
Clubs will be regionally repped and globally stacked. Athletes from all over the world can be drafted to an X Games Club and will be assigned to the Club for 2 or 3 years. Each Club will draft their 10 athlete roster snake-style, meaning the 4 inaugural X Games Clubs pick 2 eligible athletes per round (1 man, 1 woman) to fill their 10 athlete roster.
Stay tuned for more information on the inaugural 8 X Games Clubs, 4 summer clubs and 4 winter clubs!
The Points
Athletes and teams earn XGL points at every stop, and standings are updated in real time. The point system rewards podium finishes but is set up to create the most competition possible—the underdogs have chances to end up on top!
At the conclusion of each XGL competition, ranking points will be assigned based on either the final placement of the Club athlete if 1 athlete per Club is in the discipline, or the single highest placement of the athletes if more than 1 athlete per Club is in the discipline.
The Championship
The XGL Championship takes place at the last stop of the season for both the Winter and Summer seasons of XGL.
The Club with the highest team points takes home a whole lot of money.

FAQ
X Games League (XGL) will launch in Summer 2026 as the newest professional competition arm of the X Games. XGL is a global, team-based league with two seasons each year: summer X Clubs (skateboarding and BMX) and winter X Clubs (snowboarding and skiing).
The traditional X Games are iconic, standalone events. XGL builds on that legacy with a league format, allowing athletes to compete for their X Games Clubs across multiple stops each season, earning points toward a championship title.
At each X Games stop (e.g., X Games SLC or X Games Aspen), certain disciplines will be designated as league competitions where athletes on Clubs will compete for points. Athletes will compete for franchise-owned Clubs under a 3-stop season format leading to championship at the last stop of the season.
XGL will feature Snowboard, Ski, Skateboard, and BMX competitions in various disciplines, showcasing both men’s and women’s events. Moto X, arguably the fan favorite discipline at the X Games, will still take place at X Games but will not be part of the league structure at this time.
The inaugural XGL Summer season begins in 2026 with 3 stops, followed by the first Winter season in 2027 with 3 stops.
Fans can attend events, follow their favorite teams and athletes, and engage with XGL across social media. Brands and organizations interested in partnership opportunities can reach out through our official contact form.
