Winter Sports
FIS Alpine World Cup
As long as there’s snow on the mountains, the thrills on the Austrian slopes don’t stop. This week takes us to Schladming, Austria for Ski Cross. Get ready for a true test of speed and precision as world-class athletes tackle hills, bumps, jumps, and banked turns. This is one of the few Alpine races where skiers race at the same time, keeping things unpredictable the whole way through. These races start early, but they’re worth waking up for.
Thursday at 6:30a ET: Men’s and Women’s Ski Cross
Friday at 4:30a ET: Men’s and Women’s Ski Cross
U.S. Ski and Snowboard
If waking up that early is too tall an order, we also have some stateside skiing for your weekend enjoyment. Watch teams of U.S. skiers perform stunning flips and spins on the Aerials course in Lake Placid, NY.
Sunday at 2p ET: Team Aerials

Soccer
Premier League
We’ve just been through two days of the best midweek matches of the season, and Premier League isn’t slowing down. We get another chance to sneak in a game at work today when Ipswich hosts Brighton. The Tractor Boys are just inside the relegation zone, and a win over the Seagulls here could move them out. They’ve had a couple big wins recently too, including one over fourth-place Chelsea. It’s too early to say if they can remain in Premier League next season, but a win here would make a strong case. The fun continues Saturday and Sunday with Brentford hosting first-place Liverpool, Arsenal against Aston Villa, and much more.
Thursday at 2:30p ET: Ipswich v Brighton
Saturday at 10a ET: Brentford v Liverpool
Saturday at 10a ET: Leicester City v Fulham
Saturday at 12:30p ET: Arsenal v Aston Villa
Sunday at 9a ET: Nottingham Forest v Southampton
Sunday at 9a ET: Man United v Brighton
Watch Premier League on Peacock.
U.S. Soccer
The U.S. Men’s National Team play their first friendly matches of 2025. They’ll open the year against Venezuela, who made it to the quarterfinals of the Copa America last year. It’ll be a tough match, and a big test for this young team. They don’t get long to rest after that either, with another match against Costa Rica scheduled for next Wednesday. Since these games fall outside of international breaks, many of the USMNT’s biggest stars will still be playing for their clubs. That means this match is a big opportunity for the younger players to show everyone what they can do on an international stage. We could be seeing some future stars of American soccer here.
Saturday at 2:30p ET: USA vs. Venezuela
Wednesday at 6:30p ET: USA vs. Costa Rica

Cycling
Santos Tour Down Under
The first major cycling race of 2025 brings top athletes to Australia for a true test of endurance, strength, and pain tolerance. The climbs down under are tough, and the routes are long. Making this race even more difficult, it’s the middle of summer in Australia. Winning even a stage of this race is a huge accomplishment, and you’ll want to stay through to the end and see the moment it happens.
Thursday at 7:30p ET: Women’s Stage 1
Friday at 7:30p ET: Women’s Stage 2
Saturday at 7:30p ET: Women’s Stage 3

Motorsports
Dakar Rally
The wildest race in the world is down to the final two stages. You’ve only got two more nights to watch classic cars, trucks, semis, ATVs, and more speed through the Arabian Desert at the Dakar Rally. We don’t get to see a race like this again until next January, so catch this one while you can.
Thursday at 8p ET: Stage 11
Friday at 8p ET: Stage 12

IMSA
The IMSA season officially kicks off next week with the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway. We get a small preview of the action this week with the VP Racing SportsCar Challenge. Watch BMWs, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins, and more of the coolest cars in the world face off on this famous track as it gets ready for the big event this week. 33 cars in total will compete this weekend with up-and-coming drivers behind the wheel.

Sunday at 1:15p ET: Race 2

SuperMotocross
The Supercross portion of the season started with an absolute banger in Anaheim, and the thrills are only going to get bigger in San Diego. Chase Sexton took the 450cc main event last week, and he’s looking to keep winning when the show comes to Snapdragon Stadium. This wide floor lends itself to a track with long rhythm sections, constant hairpin and banked turns, and more obstacles that’ll keep these riders on their toes.
Saturday at 3p ET: Race Day Live
Saturday at 8:30p ET: Supercross – San Diego

Basketball
Big Ten Women’s Basketball
The women’s division of the Big Ten is growing more competitive by the week. That makes this first doubleheader so exciting. Indiana will try to build on a two-game winning streak as they face Illinois on the road. The Fighting Illini have seen some struggles this season, but a big win over Iowa proved you can’t count them out yet. Stick around to see No. 9 Ohio State try to keep their incredible momentum going against Wisconsin. Come back Sunday to see the absolutely phenomenal No. 4 USC in action against Indiana. USC’s JuJu Watkins is unbelievable, and you’ll want to see every second of her game you can. Good news for us then, we get to watch USC again next Wednesday when they take on Purdue in the first part of a doubleheader. This is a basketball fan’s dream week.
Thursday at 6:30p ET: Indiana vs. Illinois
Thursday at 9p ET: Ohio State (9) vs. Wisconsin
Sunday at 12p ET: USC (4) vs. Indiana
Wednesday at 9p ET: Iowa vs. Washington

Big Ten Men’s Basketball
Of course, there’s just as much fun in store for men’s game. We’re starting things off with two ranked teams facing off on Saturday afternoon. No. 17 Purdue will head out west to face No. 13 Oregon. Those rankings mean the stakes are extra high at this point in the season. One of these teams will likely drop as a result of this game. The fun keeps going into next week too with a Monday night game and a huge Tuesday doubleheader.
Saturday at 3p ET: Purdue (17) vs. Oregon (13)
Monday at 6:30p ET: Rutgers vs. Penn State
Tuesday at 7:30p ET: Ohio State vs. Purdue (17)
Tuesday at 9:30p ET: Wisconsin (24) vs. UCLA

Big East Men’s Basketball
The Big Ten isn’t the only conference with consequential matchups in the coming week. Marquette is ranked No. 7 in the country and first in the Big East. At time of writing, they’re undefeated in the conference and on a six-game winning streak. They’ll hope to keep that momentum going when they face the Seton Hall Pirates on Tuesday night.
Tuesday at 8p ET: Marquette (7) vs. Seton Hall

Speed Skating
European Short Track Championships
Traditional speed skaters had their day in the spotlight lasty week. Now it’s time for Europe’s best short track athletes to show their stuff. With faster turns and tighter formations, this is as tense as the sport gets. Watch Olympic medalists and world champions go head-to-head in Dresden, Germany.
Saturday at 7:35a ET: Day 1
Sunday at 7:35a ET: Day 2
Track and Field
HBCU Showcase Sponsored by KPMG
For the third year in a row, the fastest and strongest athletes from HBCUs across the country will show the world what they can do in the ultimate exhibition meet. The Nike Track and Field Center at The Armory in New York City is known as the fastest indoor track for a reason. The conditions are ideal, and athletes often set personal bests here. I can’t wait to see if anyone manages it this weekend.

Football
NFL
The Wild Card Round certainly delivered, and now we get to see some of the matchups we’ve been waiting for all season. This Sunday, watch an East vs. West showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were one of the most fun teams to watch this season with star running back Saquon Barkley tearing through almost every defense he encountered. The question is will he still be able to do that against a Rams defense that limited the Vikings to just nine points last week? The Rams proved themselves to be a real threat last week. Even on the road, they’re a team you don’t want to meet in the playoffs. Then again, so are the Eagles.
Sunday at 2p ET: Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Watch NFL on Peacock.
Figure Skating
U.S. Figure Skating Championships
Winter feels like it’s missing something when there’s no figure skating on. Now, we’re about to watch the best junior and senior skaters the United States has to offer at the Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships. With the Winter Olympics coming up next year, this event holds even more importance. Whoever wins here will qualify for the World Championships later this year, and will directly compete for spots in the Winter Games. Amber Glenn will defend her championship, as will Ilia Malinin, and Madison Chock and Evan Bates.
