The Snow League, a competitive halfpipe circuit created by Shaun White, reupped its deal with NBC Sports, which will show the league’s four events this season. 8.1 million fans tuned into Season One of The Snow League and NBC Sports plans to expand coverage for Season Two.

The season kicks off on September 19th in New Zealand and will also include a new event in Park City, Utah (the host of the 2034 Olympics that hasn’t had a 22-foot halfpipe since it hosted world championships in 2019). NBC will show encore presentations of all the events, with live shows on Peacock and the league’s YouTube channel.

After retiring from competitive snowboarding, White created a league of snowboarders and skiers competing for a season-long title to go with the championships in the individual events. In the opening season, the league awarded $2.2 million in cash prizes. Season One champions include snowboarders Sena Tomita and Yuto Totsuka and freeskiers Eileen Gu and Luke Harrold.

The season opener in New Zealand will be a team event with a draft that will not count towards the season long standings. Seeding in that tournament will be based on a different competition in which teams try to create the best behind-the-scenes content in the run-up to the contest.

The Snow League Season Two Schedule:

Building on the success of its inaugural season The Snow League is introducing a new global event – The Snow League World Challenge – this September in Cardrona, New Zealand. The 2026–2027 season will feature three regular season Snow League events across North America and Europe, preceded by the World Challenge at Cardrona Alpine Resort in New Zealand, a first-of-its-kind international event which will bring together top athletes from around the world.
