Roku Adds Streaming Rights for First-Ever X Games League

Roku has just added some serious excitement to its streaming lineup. They’ve picked up the digital rights to the first-ever X Games League, officially known as the MoonPay X Games League. You can catch all the adrenaline-pumping action exclusively on the Roku Sports Channel.

The X Games League, sponsored by MoonPay, is set to kick off this summer with team-based competitions. Just like the traditional X Games, there will be both summer and winter editions. But before all that, they need to draft the teams. You can catch the MoonPay X Games League Draft live and for free on the Roku Sports Channel, coming to you straight from COSM in Los Angeles.

Roku is already home to the regular X Games, which happen twice a year. ESPN holds the linear rights to both the X Games and the XGL, making this new deal an extension of Roku’s existing partnership.

The XGL promises to deliver all the fan-favorite events, including skateboarding, BMX, snowboarding, and ski disciplines. Joe Franzetta, head of sports at Roku Media, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “We’re proud of the partnership we have already built with X Games, bringing these exhilarating competitions to millions of homes and helping new fans discover this iconic sports league. We look forward to collaborating further to bring this exciting new format to die-hard viewers and a new generation of fans.”

So get ready to experience the thrill of the X Games like never before, right from the comfort of your couch via the Roku Sports Channel.
