LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (Sept. 20, 2025) — USA Bobsled announced today that its Selection Committee has named its World Cup team for the 2025–26 season. While the IBSF World Cup circuit, considered the highest level of annual international bobsled and skeleton racing, takes place every winter, this year carries added significance with the highly anticipated 2026 Winter Olympics just months away in February.

The 2026 U.S. Olympic Bobsled Team will be named on January 19, 2026. Athletes selected to the Olympic team will come from this World Cup roster, making today’s announcement a critical step on the road to the Games. Changes to the World Cup team have the potential to be made when the Selection Committee reviews the team at the midpoint of the season in December.

“We have an exceptionally talented pool of athletes heading into the Olympic season, which made the selection process highly competitive. The committee is confident in the athletes we’ve named, and we’re eager to begin sliding in Park City next month as we prepare for the World Cup races in November,” shared Chris Fogt, USA Bobsled Head Coach. 

Three women’s pilots and three men’s pilots were named to the team. Six women’s push athletes, or “brakewomen”, and twelve men’s push athletes, or “brakemen”, were also selected. The athletes named to the 2025–26 Team USA World Cup roster are listed below in alphabetical order by subsection:
