The men's big air competition in snowboarding at the 2026 Winter Olympics was held on 5 February (qualification) and 7 February (final), at the Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina. Kira Kimura representing Japan became the Olympic champion, with his teammate Ryoma Kimata winning the silver medal. For both of them, this was the first Olympic medal. The defending champion Su Yiming won the bronze medal.

Background The defending champion Su Yiming and the 2022 silver medalist Mons Røisland both qualified for the event. The 2022 bronze medalist Max Parrot took a break from competitions. Su Yiming was also leading the 2025–26 FIS Snowboard World Cup standings in men's big air, having won two of three competitions prior to the Olympics. The third one, where Su Yiming did not compete, was won by Hiroto Ogiwara. The 2025 World champion was Ryoma Kimata. Su Yiming, Ogiwara, and Kimata were in the field and qualified for the final, but Røisland did not. Canadian Mark McMorris fell in training and was not able to compete but Australia’s Valentino Guseli, a halfpipe qualifier, was added to the men’s big air start list very late and managed to reach the final.
