Lucas Pinheiro Braathen has his eye on Marco Odermatt’s overall title from the outset of the 2026/27 Alpine Ski World Cup season, while retirements, injuries and shifting priorities have blown the battle for the women’s Crystal Globe wide open.

One more overall title would give reigning champion Mikaela Shiffrin the outright record, but she’s set to focus almost exclusively on the giant slalom and Super-G, two of her weaker disciplines. Lara Gut-Behrami, meanwhile, has retired, Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone are missing the start of the campaign through illness and injury respectively, and there’s no timeline on Lindsey Vonn’s potential return.
Emma Aicher, Camille Rast and Alice Robinson look the likeliest to fill the void, though former Olympic and world champion Petra Vlhova is finally fit to race again.
Also on the comeback trail is Marcel Hirscher, who won eight overall Crystal Globes for eight seasons running between 2011 and 2019, but has been inactive for the past two years. Can the man widely considered the greatest alpine skier of all time pick up where he left off?
Comprising 43 men’s and 40 women’s races over five months, culminating with the season finale at Sun Valley after a two-week break for the Alpine World Ski Championships at Crans-Montana in February, here’s how to watch Alpine Ski World Cup from anywhere in the world. We’ve also listed the schedule and reigning champions below.
