Olympic Snowboarding 2026 Updated Odds and NBC Live Stream Schedule

The United States has dominated the snowboarding events at the Winter Olympics since the sport was introduced at the Games in 1998.

Team USA earned twice as many overall medals and gold medals than the next-best country in Olympic snowboarding history.

Eleven snowboarding events will take place at the Milan Cortina Games. Five men's and women's events will be contested, as well as the mixed snowboard cross.

A handful of familiar faces, like Chloe Kim, headline the USA snowboarding team that is looking to earn the most snowboarding medals at the Winter Olympics for the seventh time.

The full snowboarding schedule, along with the event TV and live-streaming schedule, can be found here.

Halfpipe

Chloe Kim will try to pull off a three-peat in women's halfpipe in Italy.

Kim won the last two golds in Pyeongchang and Beijing. She extended the legacy of American women to win the halfpipe event. Five of the seven women's halfpipe golds belong to Americans.

Kim is the favorite to win the event, but she'll need a few strong runs to claim the gold again. Japan's Sena Tomita, a bronze medalist in Beijing, is one of the women who could end Kim's reign.

The men's halfpipe competition is far more wide open, which is why the odds could be all over the place before the event begins.

Australia's Scotty James won bronze in 2018 and silver in 2022. Japan's Ayumu Hirano, who won gold in Beijing, is a three-time Olympic medalist.

Japan's Yuto Totsuka is the current points leader on the FIS snowboard World Cup circuit. New Zealand teenager Campbell Melville Ives delivered a handful of impressive performances in the buildup to the Olympics as well.

There's a good chance that an American male doesn't medal in halfpipe for the third time in the last four Olympics.

Slopestyle

Red Gerard is the leading American in the slopestyle discipline.

Gerard, the 2018 Olympic gold medalist, has been a constant fixture on the podium at World Cup and X-Games events over the last four years.

Gerard and Canadian Mark McMorris are two of the favorites to claim the slopestyle gold.

McMorris is a three-time bronze medalist in Olympic slopestyle.

Norway's Marcus Kleveland, who took second behind McMorris at the 2026 X-Games, is another name to watch for gold.

Great Britain's Mia Brookes, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott of New Zealand and Japan's Kokomo Murase are just some of the athletes to watch in the women's slopestyle competition.

Murase is the leader in the slopestyle World Cup standings, Sadowski-Synnott is the reigning Olympic gold medalist and Brookes just won gold at the X-Games.

2022 bronze medalist Tess Coady and American Lily Dhawornvej are two others to watch in a loaded field.
