The Biathlon World Cup will start the new season 2024/2025 in Kontiolahti. We have taken a look at the IBU's schedule for next winter and listed all the World Cup dates with locations, start times and disciplines clearly below. PDF for printing and iCal for calendar import are also included. If there are any changes, they will be added as soon as possible.

The Venues

Ten venues will host the Biathlon World Cup in the winter of 2024/2025, with only stops in Europe on the programme.

The season opens at the end of November in Kontiolahti, Finland. This will be followed by Hochfilzen (Tyrol) and Grand Bornand (France) in December. During the Christmas break, the World Team Challenge with many World Cup professionals will take place in the stadium on Schalke. However, the result of the TV event does not count towards the World Cup.

In January, the World Cup team will continue to Oberhof (Thuringia), Ruhpolding (Bavaria) and Antholz (South Tyrol). The highlight of the season will be the World Championships in Lenzerheide in Switzerland in February 2025.

After the World Championships, the World Cup team will travel on to Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic in March, before competing in Pokljuka, Slovenia. The end of the season will once again traditionally take place in Norway at the Holmenkollen in Oslo.

I live in the republic of Ireland,where can I watch the biathlon
Comment

Cool, I'm not the only person in the country who follows biathlon. UK Eurosport no longer carry it and Eurovision page doesn't work for me; if it doesn't work for you(https://www.eurovisionsports.tv/ibu/) it might be that it's blocked in Ireland? Please let me know if you find a place to watch it.

Where will I be able to watch the events on TV this year?
Comment
Snow-Online

It depends on the country you live in. In Europe, the races are usually shown on Eurosport.

FlyingCloud01

Try Eurovisionsports.tv (online). Select International Biathlon. You’ll see the events, including zeroing, and can even re-watch previous year’s events. The commentary is in English. They don’t have Coach Salmela but that’s the only downside.
