IBU World Cup Biathlon 2020/2021: Schedule, Dates and Venues

As an editor at Snow-Online I turned my hobby into my profession. Since September 2016 I have been in charge of the content. The mountains have always fascinated me. In winter, you can meet me in the ski areas not only on the downhill slopes, but also on the cross-country trails.

We have taken a look at the venues and directly afterwards we have listed all biathlon dates with start times and disciplines clearly arranged.

The Venues

© Ruhpolding Tourismus GmbH Once again, the biathletes will come to Ruhpolding in mid-January.

Over 70 races await the World Cup athletes in the 2020/2021 season - almost all of them in Europe. They will start at the end of November with a new opening event in Kontiolahti, Finland. After that, Östersund, Hochfilzen and Le Grand Bornand are on the programme until Christmas.

In January the three big visitor magnets are Oberhof, Ruhpolding and Antholz. Whether many thousands of visitors will be on site again every day is still completely unclear due to the Corona pandemic. An uncertainty that also worries the organisers of the Biathlon World Championships in Pokljuka. In February 2021, twelve races will be held there to compete for medals and World Cup points.

Directly after the last World Cup race, the biathletes will fly to the only World Cup stop outside Europe: the test of endurance for the 2022 Winter Olympics will take place near Beijing. The 2020/2021 season will conclude with the two March World Cups in Nové Město and Oslo. Norway will then also host the new discipline of super sprint for the first time.
