On the women’s side, Sweden will begin with seven skiers. Already on the men’s side, six athletes will start for the Scandinavian country. 

Emma Ribom was on the preliminary sprint team but has withdrawn due to being ill, and it is uncertain whether Frida Karlsson will start, as she withdrew from the Holmenkollen 50km due to cold symptoms.
