The X Games in New Orleans will be the first championship event of the new Moonpay X Games League (XGL) 2026 Summer Season
If you’ve ever heard the phrase "when two worlds collide," that is exactly what this moment feels like for me. Growing up in Colorado, experiencing the Winter X Games every year gave me some of my best childhood memories. (Fun fact: your local social media person who tracks down all the best family fun in NOLA is also an experienced snowboarder!) So, when I saw that the X Games are coming to New Orleans for the very first time, I knew I had to share the excitement. There was absolutely no way I was letting this opportunity pass by without sending a NOLA kid to the show. The X Games team loved the idea and hooked us up with an incredible prize package (Giveaway is over)
