Who doesn’t like the exhilaration thrill of competitive skiers racing down challenging mountain slopes at breakneck speed? Thankfully, the 2024–25 FIS Skiing World Cup season is almost upon us. Alpine skiing fans have been patiently waiting since the 58th FIS World Cup concluded on March 23 to watch their favorite skiers once again compete for the Crystal Globe.

With a little over the left, until the 2024-25 season kicks off in Solden, Austria, several storylines already have fans excited. An MCL injury on January 26, 2024, sidelined Mikaela Shiffrin’s dream of reaching the historic 100-race mark. So all eyes will be on Shiffrin to return to the top. Meanwhile, last season’s overall champion, Lara Gut-Behrami, will look to rain on the Shiffrin Parade and retain her title. Similarly, her fellow Swiss, Marco Odermatt, will look to win the fourth straight overall title. So with all this in mind, let’s have a look at the upcoming season schedule.

When and where is the FIS Skiing World Cup 2024-25 taking place?

Here’s a comprehensive list of the schedule following the date, venue, and event format:

Iconic athletes need iconic venues

The 59th FIS Skiing World Cup season will take athletes to some of the most iconic slopes across the globe. The season finale on Mikaela Shiffrin’s home soil for the first time in WC history. However, there won’t be changes to the season opener. Men and women alpine skiing competitors will gather at Sölden, Austria, for the kickoff event of the 2024-25 season.

However, after the Giant Slalom in Austria, the men’s and women’s events will take place at different venues, occasionally crossing paths. One of those occasions will be the 49th FIS Alpine Ski World Championships at Saalbach, Austria. The last time Saalbach hosted the world championships was in 1991. The 13-day event will conclude roughly a month ahead of the season finale.

Sun Valley, USA, will host the final races of the FIS Skiing World Cup for the first time in history. All eyes will be on Team USA’s standouts, such as Mikaela Shiffrin, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, and others, to close the season on a high note. Those looking for the thrill won’t be disappointed, as some of you’ll see skiers race down some of the steepest and most difficult slopes in the world.

The Kandahar slope in Germany with its 92% incline, the legendary ‘Streif’ in Kitzbühel, and Lauberhorn in Wengen, Austria, both sporting 85% inclines, are three of the steepest slopes in the world. However, just because other locations don’t sport the steepest inclines doesn’t mean they won’t pose a challenge to the skier.

Courchevel in France will provide the perfect playground for technical Slalom experts like Mikaela Shiffrin, Slovenia’s Petra Vlhova, and others to shine. Finally, let’s take a look at which platforms bring the action from the World Cup races to your living room.

How to watch Mikaela Shiffrin, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, and others during the FIS Skiing World Cup

While no network has made any official announcement regarding the 2024-25 season, we can make an educated guess based on what happened last season. U.S.-based fans shouldn’t have to look too hard to find a platform to watch their favorite alpine skiers. NBC and its streaming platform Peacock brought the play-by-play from Paris to viewers’ homes.

They also broadcasted the 2023–24 FIS Skiing World Cup races live on NBC and CNBC, including Peacock and the NBC Sports app. Meanwhile, Outside should stream all domestic World Cup events for free. Last year, Outside+ subscribers got access to domestic races on demand. Meanwhile, skiandsnowboard.live is set to be the destination to catch the international event live in the USA.

While skiandsnowboard.live won’t stream the events in Austria, fret not. NBC and Peacock should once again have your back for the events in Austria. So are you excited about the upcoming FIS Skiing World Cup season? Who will you be rooting for? Write your thoughts in the comments.
