How to Watch: 2025-26 World Cup Season

U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes are ready for another busy season of competing worldwide and we’re here to break down how you can watch all the action. Broadcast rights are not centralized, which means that every country has the right to sell their World Cup broadcast. This season, there are THREE ways to tune into the 2025-26 season action with Outside, skiandsnowboard.live as well as via broadcast networks NBC, USA Network and CNBC and the streaming platform Peacock.

This 2025-26 season will feature 10 domestic World Cup events, a full international World Cup season and the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

To find out how to watch events every weekend, please check the TV listings under our WATCH tab. Our social media channels will also release each weekend’s schedule weekly, pinned to the top of our feed.
