Alpine World Cup 2023‑24: Complete Schedule, Broadcast Times, and How to Catch Every Race – With a Special Look at the Beaver Creek Showdown

The 2023‑24 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is in full swing, and the calendar is packed with high‑octane action that fans can follow live from the comfort of their living rooms. Sporting News has put together a handy guide that lists every race’s date, time, venue, and broadcasting details—including live‑streaming options—so you won’t miss a single run. Below is a comprehensive summary of the key take‑aways, with a focus on the exciting races at Beaver Creek, Colorado.

1. The Full Calendar at a Glance

The World Cup season kicks off in Courchevel, France (FIS 2023‑24 FIS Alpine World Cup Calendar), and proceeds through a host of venues across Europe and North America. Sporting News breaks the schedule into three chunks:

The Beaver Creek segment (Dec 16–19) is especially noteworthy because it brings the World Cup back to North America after a long stretch of European races. These four days feature a women’s Super‑G, a men’s Giant Slalom, a women’s Slalom, and a men’s Downhill, all on the iconic Nordic Valley course.

2. Broadcast & Live‑Stream Details

Television Networks

• ESPN (US) – The primary broadcaster for the US market. All major World Cup races, including the Beaver Creek events, are shown on ESPN or ESPN 2. Check the ESPN guide for the exact channel and start time.
• Rugby TV (Canada) – For Canadian viewers, Rugby TV provides coverage of the American legs.
• CBS Sports (US) – Offers supplementary coverage, including behind‑the‑scenes features and post‑race interviews, on CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports HQ.
