X Games Minneapolis 2017 gets underway on Thursday at U.S. Bank Stadium, and some of the best action sports athletes in the entire world will be competing for medals and prize money. The event will run through Sunday and will see BMX, skateboard and moto X competitions each day.

Watching the coverage will vary each day. ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC will broadcast television coverage of various events, while WatchESPN and the ESPN app will carry online streams of other events via ESPN3.

Those streams will happen each day, and if you happen to be one of those lucky enough to own a Samsung Gear VR headset, then you can find exclusive streamed content each day as well.

On Thursday, medals will be awarded in the BMX vert and skateboard vert competitions. There will also be Harley-Davidson Flat Track racing, which will be the only event on television on the day, beginning at 9 p.m. ET and running for about two hours.

The BMX vert final will be streamed on ESPN3 beginning at 6 p.m., and the skateboard vert final will be streamed at 6:45 p.m. for those with the aforementioned headsets. Everyone else can watch that event later, from 11 p.m. to midnight.

Below is all the information you need to watch the action on Thursday, including the full schedule of televised and streamed events.
