Alpine skiing live streams at the 2026 Winter Olympics will see Austria attempt to continue their historic dominance of this event, with challenges expected from Switzerland and France.

Austria's squad includes Marco Schwarz, Manu Feller and Julia Scheib, all of whom will be targeting a podium finish in their respective events. Marco Odermatt of Switzerland will be aiming to do his country proud after the recent tragic resort fire back home, while the USA are still waiting on the fitness of Lindsey Vonn. Other skiers worth watching are the veteran Italian Christof Innerhofer, and Italy's Clement Noel, who won gold in the slalom in 2022.
