Get ready, because the 2026-27 Alpine skiing World Cup season is firing up this weekend, and it’s going to be wild. Every single race, from October through March, is airing live on NBC Sports and Peacock, so you can catch all the action. The season kicks off with both women’s and men’s giant slaloms in Soelden, Austria, and trust me, you do not want to miss what’s about to unfold.
The Snow Is Flying: How to Catch Every Run
This isn’t some small-time event, folks. We’re talking about the entire Alpine skiing World Cup and World Championships season, all live. That’s a full slate of high-octane racing from the jump. The first runs are coming in hot this weekend, starting with the women’s giant slalom from Sölden on October 24, with Run 1 at 4 a.m. ET and Run 2 at 7 a.m. ET, all on Peacock. Then, the men take over on October 25 for their giant slalom, also from Sölden, hitting Peacock at 5 a.m. ET for Run 1 and 8 a.m. ET for Run 2. Clear your schedules, set your alarms, or just plan on staying up late for these. This is pure, unadulterated speed and skill, and it’s coming straight to your screens.
Shiffrin, Odermatt, and the Quest for History
When you talk Alpine skiing, you have to talk Mikaela Shiffrin. The woman owns a mind-boggling World Cup record with 110 wins, and she’s not slowing down. This season, she’s dialing in on giant slalom and super-G, though she’ll still hit some slaloms, her most successful event. You know she’s going to be pushing the limits every time she’s on the mountain. But it’s not just Shiffrin carrying the flag for the U.S. team. We’ve got Olympic and world downhill champ Breezy Johnson, plus fellow Olympic medalists Paula Moltzan, Jackie Wiles, and Ryan Cochran-Siegle. That’s a stacked squad ready to make some noise. And keep an eye on Swiss phenom Marco Odermatt. This guy is on the cusp of becoming only the second man ever to snag a sixth overall title. Only Marcel Hirscher, with eight, has more. That’s a serious run at history right there, and it’s happening this season.
The whole thing wraps up with the World Championships in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, in February, and then the Stifel World Cup Finals in March, right here in Sun Valley, Idaho. It’s a long season of incredible racing, so buckle up. The excitement is just getting started!
