The 2026/2027 Biathlon World Cup season will feature 11 stops across Europe — one more than in recent years. The expanded calendar is due to the introduction of a brand-new two-day World Cup event, set to take place in the first week of January shortly after New Year’s.

As usual, the season gets underway in late November in Kontiolahti, Finland. The tour then heads to Hochfilzen in Austria’s Tyrol region and Le Grand Bornand in France before the Christmas break. Just ahead of New Year’s Eve, the popular World Team Challenge returns to Schalke Stadium, followed immediately by the inaugural short-format World Cup in Pokljuka on January 2 and 3.

January brings several of the sport’s most iconic venues, with races scheduled in Ruhpolding, Antholz and Nove Mesto. The undisputed highlight of the winter, however, will be the 2027 Biathlon World Championships in Otepää, Estonia, taking place in February. As always, results from the World Championships will not count toward the overall World Cup standings.

Once the championships are over, the circuit moves on to Oberhof, which will host World Cup races in March for the first time after its traditional January slot was dropped for organizational and weather-related reasons. The season then wraps up in Scandinavia, beginning in Östersund before culminating one week later with the traditional grand finale at Oslo’s famous Holmenkollen.
