The 2025–26 Biathlon World Cup (official: BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon), organised by the International Biathlon Union (IBU), is the 49th official World Cup season for men and 44th edition for women as the highest level of international biathlon competitions.[1]

The season is started on 29 November 2025 in Östersund, Sweden and will end on 22 March 2026 in Oslo Holmenkollen, Norway.[2]

A major highlight of the season will be the 2026 Winter Olympics, held in MilanCortina, Italy, from 8 to 21 February, with the biathlon events taking place in Antholz-Anterselva. The results from these competitions will not be included in the World Cup standings.

Sturla Holm Lægreid from Norway and Franziska Preuß from Germany are the reigning champions from the previous season.

Season overview

The men’s sprint in AnnecyLe Grand-Bornand was regarded as the closest men’s sprint in biathlon history, as the top-6 athletes finished within less than nine seconds of each other.[3]

On 23 December 2025, 27-year-old Norwegian biathlete Sivert Guttorm Bakken was found dead in his hotel room during a training camp in Italy. At the time of his death, he was ranked 13th in the overall standings.[4][5] In his memory, he was included on the start list with bib number 1 for the sprint in Oberhof.[6]

As a result of victory in the pursuit race in Oberhof, Tommaso Giacomel took the lead in the Overall World Cup standings, becoming the first Italian since January 1992 and only the third Italian man in the history of the World Cup to wear yellow bib.

During the sprint on 16 January in Ruhpolding, Anne de Besche became the first Danish woman to start in a World Cup event. She finished the race in 78th place.
