Watch Nordic Winter Sports Live on IPTV in 2026: Skiing, Biathlon and More
Winter sports are deeply embedded in Nordic culture. From the biathlon at Holmenkollen to alpine skiing in Åre, cross-country racing in Lahti, and ski jumping events that fill stadiums across the region, winter sport broadcasts generate some of the highest television ratings in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and beyond.
IPTV makes it easier than ever to follow the complete winter sports season — including events that traditional cable packages in the UK or elsewhere may not carry at all.
Key Winter Sports Broadcasters
NRK (Norway) — arguably the most comprehensive winter sports broadcaster in the world. NRK carries extensive live coverage of biathlon, cross-country skiing, ski jumping, and Nordic combined, with Norwegian athletes at the forefront of most disciplines. NRK's winter sports coverage is available free-to-air in Norway and through quality IPTV services globally.
Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 — the pan-European winter sports broadcaster. Eurosport holds rights to the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, IBU Biathlon World Cup, FIS Cross-Country World Cup, and Nordic Combined World Cup, among others. Available through IPTV services across all Nordic countries.
SVT Sport (Sweden) — covers winter sports events with Swedish athlete interest, particularly in years when Sweden hosts World Championship rounds.
YLE Sport (Finland) — covers Finnish interests in biathlon and cross-country skiing, particularly during World Championship events.
Key Winter Sports Competitions and Their IPTV Coverage
IBU Biathlon World Cup
The biathlon World Cup runs from November through March, visiting venues including Östersund (Sweden), Ruka (Finland), and Holmenkollen (Norway). Norway dominates the sport globally — athletes like Johannes Thingnes Bø have made biathlon one of Norway's most watched sports. Broadcast via NRK, Eurosport, and regional broadcasters. All available through quality IPTV services.
FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
Alpine skiing's top circuit includes marquee events at Åre (Sweden), Kvitfjell (Norway), and Levi (Finland) — all on home soil for Nordic viewers. Broadcast via Eurosport primarily, with NRK covering Norwegian athlete events. Norwegian racers have historically been strong in speed disciplines.
FIS Cross-Country Skiing World Cup
Cross-country skiing is a national passion in Norway and Finland. The Holmenkollen festival in Oslo is one of the most attended winter sports events in the world. Full coverage via NRK, YLE, and Eurosport.
Ski Jumping World Cup
Ski jumping has a devoted following in Norway, Finland, and to a lesser extent Sweden. The prestigious Four Hills Tournament (Vierschanzentournee) in January draws enormous Nordic viewership. Broadcast via NRK, YLE, and Eurosport.
FIS Nordic Combined World Cup
A niche but devoted following across the region. Norway particularly dominates this combined ski jumping and cross-country discipline. Broadcast via NRK and Eurosport.

The Winter Olympics generate the highest winter sports ratings of the four-year cycle. Nordic athletes historically dominate cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping medal tables. The Games are broadcast by NRK, SVT, YLE, and DR — all available through quality IPTV services.
