• FREE alpine skiing live streams: 7Plus (AU), CBC (CA), BBC iPlayer (UK)

All this year's alpine events will take place at the National Alpine Ski Center located in the Yanqing competition zone. Situated in the Xiaohaituo Mountain Area, the skiing centre has an maximum grade of 68 degrees, making it one of the steepest courses in the world . 

There are seven different slopes to pick from, each measuring around six miles long and full of large drops and sharp turns. Beijing 2022’s competitors are in for a treat...

Keep an eye on Mikaela Shiffrin from the USA, as the two-time Olympic gold medalist attempts to follow up on the impressive four medals she won at the 2021 World Championships.

Other countries to watch include Switzerland and France, who have multiple medal favorites in the competition, and Team GB's Dave Ryding will be looking to capitalise on his recent World Cup success. This year's Winter Olympics alpine skiing takes place from February 3–19. Below, you'll find all the information on how to watch an alpine skiing live stream from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, wherever you are in the world.

Watch an alpine skiing live stream with a VPN

There are so many events going on at the Winter Olympics that not every country's TV and streaming coverage shows every discipline. If you can't get the alpine skiing where you are, then you can use a VPN to tune into a live stream from another country – something you might need to do if travelling abroad.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home in the same country as the streaming service that you're trying to access. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course.

Use a VPN to watch the alpine skiing from anywhere

How to use a VPN

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location', eg: select 'US' for Peacock, or 'UK' for BBC, 'Australia' for 7Plus or 'Canada' for CBC. 

3. Go to the broadcaster's live stream - so that might be 7Plus, CBC, BBC iPlayer or Peacock TV.

Alpine skiing live stream: how to watch Beijing 2022 online in the UK

As ever, the BBC is providing FREE coverage of the 2022 Winter Olympics, and with Team GB veteran Dave Ryding on a high from his World Cup gold, there's a good bet there will be live coverage.

However, the BBC won't have all the action of every sport. If you want to guarantee every event and every session then you'll need the Discovery+ or Eurosport Player.

Discovery+ is your best option for the most comprehensive Winter Olympics coverage, with a subscription costing £6.99 per month or £59.99 per year after a 7-day FREE trial. (Current Eurosport Player subscribers will get the same access ahead of their Discovery+ migration. There is also some TV coverage on Eurosport 1 and 2)

Not in the UK during the Winter Olympics? No worries - residents of the country can just download and install a VPN to port themselves back home to a UK location, then watch live as usual.

NBC will also provide some Winter Olympics coverage on TV, which you can live stream directly through the NBC website if you have the channel on cable, but Peacock is the main hub for all things Beijing 2022.

If you're abroad right now, you can still tune in just like you would at home with the help of a good VPN. Or consult our guide to the best Peacock VPN options for more details.
