Every alpine World Cup race will stream live on Peacock this season. Fans can also watch full-race replays free on YouTube after 24 hours, beginning with the Sölden opener.

American alpine ski racing fans will have one streaming destination for every World Cup race in the 2026-27 season.

A new agreement between NBC Sports, U.S. Ski & Snowboard and the International Ski & Snowboard Federation (FIS) puts every men’s and women’s alpine World Cup race live and on demand on Peacock. Full-race replays will also become available free on YouTube 24 hours after the original broadcast.

The agreement, announced Oct. 21, takes effect as the World Cup season begins Oct. 24-25 in Sölden, Austria.

Here’s what U.S. alpine fans need to know:

• Live World Cup racing: Every men’s and women’s race streams on Peacock.
• On-demand coverage: Full races remain available on Peacock after the live broadcast.
• Free replays: Full races become available on the new Ski & Snowboard World Cup YouTube channel after 24 hours.
• Television: Selected races will also air on NBC and NBC Sports Network (NBCSN).
• World Championships: Peacock will provide live and on-demand coverage, with free delayed replays on YouTube.

How to Watch the Sölden World Cup Opener

The 2026-27 alpine World Cup begins Saturday, Oct. 24, with women’s giant slalom. The men’s giant slalom follows Sunday, Oct. 25.

All four runs will stream live and on demand on Peacock.

One Streaming Service for Every Alpine World Cup Race

In recent seasons, U.S. fans needed as many as three streaming services to follow the full alpine World Cup calendar.

For 2026-27, Peacock will carry every men’s and women’s World Cup race live and on demand, regardless of the host country. Selected races will also air on NBC and NBCSN.

The agreement follows FIS’ decision to centralize international broadcast rights beginning this season.

Free YouTube Replays Available After 24 Hours

Fans who do not subscribe to Peacock will have another way to follow the World Cup.

The new Ski & Snowboard World Cup YouTube channel will make complete alpine races available free 24 hours after their original broadcasts.

The delayed coverage provides an alternative for viewers who cannot watch early-morning races live. However, YouTube will not provide free live alpine World Cup coverage in the United States.

Mikaela Shiffrin Welcomes Expanded Access

Three-time Olympic champion and Stifel ambassador Mikaela Shiffrin has advocated for easier access to World Cup racing.

“Most of our races happen in Europe, so time zones have always made it challenging for fans at home to follow along,” Shiffrin said.

“I’ve been advocating for this for years. When kids can watch ski racing, they can picture themselves doing it, and that’s how ski racing grows.”

U.S. World Cup Races Also Covered

Alpine World Cup races held in the United States will stream live and on demand on Peacock, with selected races also televised on NBC and NBCSN.

Outside TV will offer additional replays and highlights from domestic events. Full races will also become available on YouTube after 24 hours.

U.S. Fans can find updated race-by-race broadcast information throughout the season on U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s alpine viewing schedule.
