Overall Champions
Éric Perrot claimed his first World Cup title, securing four victories this season. He also earned small crystal globes in the individual, pursuit, and mass start standings as well as three Olympic medals.
Lou Jeanmonnot also claimed the crystal globe for the first time in her career, securing three victories, three small crystal globes (individual, sprint and pursuit), and four Olympic medals.

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

A major highlight of the season was the 2026 Winter Olympics, held in Milan–Cortina, 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 were the reigning champions from the previous season. Lægreid finished the season in 2nd place and Preuß ended her career at Winter Olympics in Antholz-Anterselva, placing 16th overall in the season standings.

The new World Cup winners for the season, both claiming the title for the first time and representing France, were Éric Perrot and Lou Jeanmonnot (having finished 2nd in the overall standings in each of the previous two seasons). This marked the first time in World Cup history that both the men’s and women’s overall titles were won by athletes from France in the same season.

Season overview

edit

The men's sprint in Annecy–Le Grand-Bornand was regarded as the closest men's sprint in biathlon history, as the top six 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.
