October 27, 2017

It looks like the X Games will be in Minneapolis AND Sydney, Australia in 2018!

Here’s some unexpected news that was just announced. The X Games have just announced that they will be doing a second event in 2018 on top of the Summer X Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota! The X Games will be heading down under to Sydney, Australia from October 19th-21st with BMX, skate and Moto-X contests. It does appear to be a slimmer event line up than the one here in the United States, with BMX Park and Skate Park not being apart of the lineup of events. As many of you recall, the X Games used to do events around the globe with multiple stops before cutting back to just one event like they had in the past. This will be the first time the X Games have made their way to Australia, so we’re sure it’s going to get a lot of love. Check out the full details below!

“In 2018, X Games is coming to Sydney, Australia for the first-ever X Games event on Australian soil, featuring Skateboard, BMX and Moto X competitions at Sydney Olympic Park on Oct. 19-21, 2018.

Who: ESPN, the leading action sports content provider and creator of the X Games, in collaboration with Seven West Media, Australia’s number one audience company, will bring X Games Sydney to Australia next year.

When: October 19-21, 2018

Where: X Games Sydney will feature Skateboard, BMX and Moto X competitions at Sydney Olympic Park.

What: For the first time in the event’s more than 20 year history, an X Games event will take place in Australia, home to some of the world’s best action sports athletes. Australian athletes hold 138 medals, 45 of which are gold from X Games summer and winter events.

In addition to world-class action sports competition, X Games Sydney will feature musical performances, art installations and a festival experience. The first Australian X Games will have a distinctly Australian flavor, showcasing the beautiful city and culture of Sydney in everything from the course designs to the medals, and highlighting the avid youth culture in Sydney throughout the festival village and live coverage.
