The 2026/2027 IBU Cup season will bring biathletes to some of the sport’s most traditional venues, from the opening races at the end of November to the grand finale in mid-March. Here is the full schedule for the upcoming season.

The 2026/2026 IBU Cup begins in Idre Fjäll, Sweden, from November 26 to 29, 2026, and concludes in Martell – Val Martello, Italy, from March 10 to 14, 2027. Throughout the season, biathletes will compete in traditional venues across Scandinavia and Central Europe.

The first period of the IBU Cup season features Idre Fjäll, Sweden; Sjusjøen, Norway; and Obertilliach, Austria, before the holiday break. In January, the circuit continues in Arber, Germany, followed by Goms, Switzerland.

After a short pause, attention turns to Slovenia, where the IBU Open European Championships will take place in Pokljuka from January 27 to 31, 2027.

The IBU Cup then resumes a few days later with the final three stages: Pokljuka once again, followed by two stages in Italy: Ridnaun – Val Ridanna at the beginning of March and Martell – Val Martello at mid-March.
