There are 20 gold medals on the line across five disciplines: Big Air, Slopestyle, SuperPipe, Knuckle Huck and Street Style — and you can watch Winter X Games 2025 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE!
The 2025 Winter X Games run from Thursday, January 23 to Saturday, January 25. Full schedule below.

► RoW — YouTube (FREE)

Brand new to the Winter X Games agenda is Street Style, which takes urban trickery out of the city and into the mountains. Along with the ski and snowboard Knuckle Huck events, Street Style promises to be a mind-bending feast of creativity.
The men's Ski Slopestyle is the most anticipated event of them all, after Birk Ruud edged Alex Hall to gold 12 months ago, while nine-time medalist Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's return will shake up both the Snowboard Big Air and Snowboard Slopestyle.
Olympic gold medalist Ayumu Hirano is hoping it'll be third-time lucky, after leaving the last two editions of the men's Snowboard SuperPipe with nothing, while Chloe Kim is eyeing her 10th X Games medal in the women's Snowboard SuperPipe.

FREE Winter X Games live streams
The 2025 Winter X Games are being live streamed for free on the Roku Channel streaming service in the U.S., and on the X Games YouTube channel in the rest of the world.
But what if you're abroad at the moment and unable to access that free Winter X Games coverage? Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.
How to watch Winter X Games 2025 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the Winter X Games on your usual subscription? You can still watch Aspen 2025 live thanks to a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want the coverage you'd get in Canada, you'd select Canada from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to YouTube or another website and watch the Winter X Games as normal.
