Action Sports Elite Converge for X Games Chiba 2026
The MoonPay X Games League arrives in Chiba, Japan, this weekend for its second summer competition. From July 4–5, over 80 athletes from 17 nations will descend upon Makuhari Messe to battle for 45 medals across skateboard, BMX, and Moto X events, marking the 77th edition of the global spectacle.
Monster Energy, a founding partner of the league, has confirmed a high-profile roster for the two-day festival. The competition serves as a critical junction for the league’s year-round standings, where individual performances contribute to city-based club rankings. The event features a diverse program including street and vert skateboarding, park BMX, and freestyle motocross.
Key storylines include Australian teenager Arisa Trew, who enters the weekend aiming to break the all-time women’s X Games gold medal record. Local favorite Miharu Ozawa returns to defend her Women’s BMX Park title, while Japanese skateboarder Liz Akama hunts for her first career X Games gold on home soil. The veteran presence of Taka Higashino, celebrating 20 years of Moto X competition, underscores the generational mix defining this year's lineup. Fans can access the event via the Roku Sports Channel in the U.S., with international streaming available through YouTube and Kick.com.
