The 2024/25 Alpine Ski World Cup live stream sees Lara Gut-Behrami aim to fend off Mikaela Shiffrin, as Marco Odermatt faces down teammate Loic Meillard and, sensationally, the returning eight-time titleist Marcel Hirscher.

Odermatt, incidentally, is looking to emulate Hirscher (and Annemarie Moser-Pröll) by becoming just the third alpine skier to win four consecutive overall season titles. Hirscher, who last competed in 2019, won eight World Cup titles in a row from 2012-19, and has opted to represent the Netherlands on his return to the slopes.
Shiffrin was leading the overall rankings ahead of the crash that she was required to be airlifted from at Cortina d’Ampezzo in January, so she’ll feel that she has a point to prove. As will Gut-Behrami, who scored victories in three disciplines en route to the Overall, Super-G, and Giant Slalom championships.

But what if you’re based in one of those countries but aren’t at home to catch that free Alpine Ski World Cup coverage? Maybe you’re on holiday and don’t want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you’d usually be able to watch for free at home?
Don’t worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We’ll show you how to do that below.

How to watch Alpine Ski World Cup in the U.S.
NBC holds the rights to the Alpine Ski World Cup in the U.S., though its coverage plans are convoluted.
We’d recommend subscribing to Peacock, which costs just $7.99/month with ads, or $13.99 without, and also carries live NFL and EPL coverage.
That’s because all Austrian events — Sölden (Oct. 26-27), Gurgl (Nov. 23-24), Semmering (Dec. 28-29), St. Anton (Jan. 11-12), Kitzbühel (Jan. 24-26), Schladming (Jan 28-29), and Saalbach (Feb. 4-16) — will be shown exclusively on Peacock.
For the three American events — Killington (Nov. 30-Dec. 1), Beaver Creek (Dec. 6-15), and Sun Valley (Mar. 22-27) — coverage will be split between NBC, CNBC and Peacock.
NBC is in the channel line-ups of a good few services for cord-cutters. That includes Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV..
Sling TV is the best-value option, costing from just $40/month and half price for your first month. Its Blue plan includes local NBC channels in a number of territories (double-check that yours is included before you buy). Fubo is another great option, with over 150 channels. Plans are pricier, starting from $79.99/month, but you can see what all the fuss is about with a 7-day free trial.
All other events will air on Skiandsnowboard.live, which will let you tune in for $11.99/month or $79.99/year.
How to watch Alpine Ski World Cup in Canada
As mentioned above, fans in Canada can watch the Alpine Ski World Cup on CBC Sports and the channel’s CBC Gem streaming service. CBC Gem is free (with ads) or CA$5.99/month (ad-free).
If you live in Canada but aren’t at home right now, you can still watch a Alpine Ski World Cup live stream by using a quality VPN like NordVPN.
How to watch Alpine Ski World Cup in the U.K.
Live coverage of the Alpine Ski World Cup is being provided by Eurosport and Discovery+ in the U.K.
If you don’t already have access to Eurosport as part of your TV plan, signing up to a Discovery+ Standard plan will let you live stream the action online. A subscription is available for £6.99/month, but you can pay £30.99/month to add TNT Sports to the mix, bringing with it Champions League and Premier League football, plus rugby, WWE, UFC, MotoGP and much more.

Can I watch Alpine Ski World Cup in Australia?
At the time of writing there’s no word on whether the 2024/25 Alpine Ski World Cup will be available to watch in Australia.
However, there’s hope that the event will be live streamed on the FIS Alpine YouTube channel in places where the Alpine Ski World Cup hasn’t been picked up by a big-name broadcaster.
If you’re usually based in Canada, but are visiting Australia, you can still watch CBC Gem via a VPN such as NordVPN.
