The X Games League just made it official. Professional skateboarder Leticia Bufoni is locked in as a founding athlete for the new league set to kick off in 2026.
Bufoni has been a heavy name in the X Games scene for years, stacking medals and showing out every time she pulls up. Now she is not just competing.
She is stepping into a spot where her voice will help shape what the future of the league looks like.
The league posted it straight up on socials: “@leticiabufoni is no stranger to X Games. Now she's going to help shape the future of the #XGamesLeague as a Founder Athlete."
Bufoni also dropped her own words on the news.
“X Games has been a huge part of my journey since day one. To now be a founding athlete of the X Games League and help shape the future of action sports it’s such an honor.”
Bufoni has been bigger than just the contests. She brings respect everywhere she skates and puts her stamp on every spot. Having her tied to the launch shows the league is paying attention to the real ones who built this from the ground up.
The first season of the X Games League is lined up for 2026. More details are still to come, but with Bufoni already stamped as a founder the league is coming in with weight from day one.
