Mike Mo Capaldi’s Professional Skateboarding League named its first set of team captains, including Nyjah Huston, Paul Rodriguez and Felipe Gustavo. Additional captains confirmed are Chris Joslin, Zach Saraceno, Jamie Foy and Ishod Wair. Season 1 begins on January 31, 2026.
The league’s first season timeline from January 31 to March 14, 2026 was published on PSL’s official channels and repeated by industry outlets. This schedule clarifies a seven-week window for roster construction, matchups and week-to-week storylines.
PSL is positioned as a no-judges, points-based teams contest. The pilot exhibition content and format notes on the official site highlight short, playoff-style matches and an easy-to-follow scoring framework that differs from traditional street contests. Those mechanics should favor captains with strong trick selection and efficient repetition in head-to-head scenarios.
Naming captains of this caliber signals buy-in from top street pros and sets an immediate competitive baseline. Huston and Rodriguez bring proven event pedigree. Gustavo, Foy and Wair add recent major-finals experience. Joslin and Saraceno contribute impact skating and depth. With captains in place ahead of January 31, draft dynamics, team balance and role specialization will be the next variables shaping early results.
PSL’s leadership traces directly to founder Mike Mo Capaldi, whose public rollout and exhibition programming throughout 2025 built familiarity with the format. The transition from exhibition to a defined season suggests operational readiness and a clear competitive narrative entering 2026.
