FIS, Ski Austria Broadcast Deal to Benefit Fans

FIS, Ski Austria Broadcast Deal to Benefit Fans

FIS and Ski Austria have ended a years-long dispute over international broadcast rights, finalizing a deal that centralizes coverage of Austrian World Cup races starting in 2027. The agreement—reached after legal proceedings in Austria were postponed earlier this year, according to skinews.ch—ensures flagship events like Sölden, Kitzbühel, and Schladming will be showcased worldwide. For U.S. fans, it marks progress toward a long-awaited one-stop streaming solution, replacing today’s fragmented and inconsistent coverage.
