XGL 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.
Yes. XGL will be part of the X Games events held in major venues worldwide with live audiences and broadcast globally through official media partners.
Broadcast and streaming details will be announced before each season, with coverage across TV, digital platforms, and social media.
Athletes opt in to the Draft by agreeing to the Club terms. Then, they are eligible to be drafted by a Club GM! If Athletes are not drafted for season 1, they may be invited to compete as a Free Agent. Free Agents are eligible to get picked up by Clubs in cases of injury or waiver (season 2).
Official XGL merchandise will be available online and on-site at events, including Club jerseys for select athletes and official Club swag!
