Biathlon World Cup 2021/2022: Schedule, Dates and Venues

As an editor at Snow-Online I turned my hobby into my profession. The mountains have always fascinated me. You can meet me on the downhill slopes, but also on the cross-country trails.

The schedule is set: The IBU has published the biathlon calendar for the 2021/2022 world cup season. We have taken a look at the venues of the Olympic season and listed all biathlon dates with start times directly afterwards. Also a PDF for printing and an iCal for the calendar import may not be missing. If there are any changes, they will be added as soon as possible.

The Venues

© Zweckverband Thüringer Wintersportzentrum The World Cup in Oberhof will take place in January 2022.

Almost 70 races in 11 venues are on the program for the biathletes in the world cup winter of 2021/2022. This is at least the preliminary schedule of the IBU. Changes caused by the pandemic are possible.

The season is scheduled to start at the end of November in Kontiolahti, Finland. After that, three more World Cup venues are on the schedule in December: Östersund in Sweden, Hochfilzen in Austria and Le Grand Bornand in France.

During the Christmas break, some top stars will be starting at the World Team Challenge. But it is still unclear whether this can take place in the stadium on Schalke or whether a substitute venue will have to be found outdoors, as was the case last year.

In January, the World Cup team will move on to Oberhof, Ruhpolding and Antholz, the three most popular World Cup venues. Whether thousands of fans will be able to join them on the track will probably only be decided a few weeks beforehand.

The highlight of the season will certainly be the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing in February 2022. After the test events during the World Cup were cancelled, courses and shooting range in Zhangjiakou National Biathlon Centre are new territory for the athletes.

Two premieres are also the World Cups in Minsk (Belarus) and Otepää (Estonia). However, the IBU has already announced that the event in Belarus has not yet been decided and that they are keeping an eye on the political situation.

The World Cup final take place in March 2022 traditionally at Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway. In the last two years it had to be cancelled due to coronavirus.
