Norwegians Johannes Thingnes Bø and Tiril Eckhoff were the defending overall champions from the 2020–21 season.
For the first time in the history of the Biathlon World Cup, the competition will be held in Estonia, specifically in Otepää.
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian and Belarusian biathletes are only allowed to compete under a neutral flag since the competition in Kontiolahti. Their performances are not included in the previous classifications of their countries. Previously, the Ukrainian national team announced the withdrawal from the biathlon competition by the end of the season.[2]
On 2 March 2022, IBU announced that Russian and Belarusian biathletes are banned from IBU events.[3]
Polish biathlete Magdalena Gwizdoń starting in the sprint in Otepää broke the all-time record of the World Cup (starting in her 27th season). The previous record for starting in 26 seasons was held by Ole Einar Bjørndalen.
Below is the IBU World Cup calendar for the 2021–22 season.[4] The 2022 Olympic Games events are not included into the Biathlon World Cup score.
