Since its inception in 1995, the X Games has become the premier international competition for extreme sports, captivating millions of fans worldwide with its high-octane events. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the action-packed games, and the event is headed to Osaka for the first time.
The three-day event will take place at Kyocera Dome, and is set to include 11 events across three sports (Skateboarding, BMX, and Moto X). Of course, it's not just the daring, action-packed skills on display for attendees to enjoy—there will also be live music performances, food and drinks available to purchase, and an immersive atmosphere that captures the energy of extreme sports culture.
The X Games also line up with the Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai (running from April until October), making the city a real hub for international events this year. If you're planning a visit to Osaka for the X Games, consider checking out the Expo while you're there.
Please note that at the time of writing, ticket prices and sale dates have not yet been announced. Please keep an eye on the official event website for further updates.
