Strategic Ownership in Premier Sports Properties

UNA Sports Group has acquired both the New York Summer and New York Winter teams of the MoonPay X Games League (XGL) in an eight-figure transaction — the first time a single ownership group has acquired two X Games teams in one market.

The New York franchise is led by Andrew Thau (Co-Founder & Partner), who serves as Governor of X Games Club New York, alongside David Rader (President) and Del Wright (CEO & Managing Partner). Together, they operate XC New York across both the Summer and Winter seasons, establishing a permanent X Games presence in one of the world’s most influential sports and cultural markets.

The launch of XGL represents a structural shift in action sports — creating a year-round, team-based, co-ed league with eight clubs competing across Summer and Winter seasons. The franchise model introduces recurring value for athletes, partners, and ownership groups through city-based teams, structured seasons, and deeper fan engagement across broadcast, streaming, live events, and digital platforms. With built-in media distribution through ESPN and ABC, XGL combines 30 years of X Games brand heritage with a modern franchise structure designed for long-term asset appreciation.
