The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan/Cortina will feature an intensive biathlon schedule consisting of eleven competitions spanning thirteen days. All of the biathlon races, however, will take place in Antholz, South Tyrol, which is nearly 400 kilometers away from Milan. This logistical arrangement highlights the decentralized nature of the upcoming Olympics as not all events are held in the host cities.

The biathlon events will kick off with a mixed relay race, followed by individual races for both men's and women's categories. Athletes will participate in four different events including individual races, sprints, and relay competitions. Notably, the mixed relay will see teams composed of two male and two female athletes from each nation, exemplifying the Olympics' commitment to gender inclusivity in competitive sports.

As the event dates approach, viewers can look forward to broadcasts of the races, which include the mixed relay on February 8, the men’s individual on February 10, and several other races culminating in the relays on February 17. This structured timetable not only outlines the competitive landscape for athletes but also prepares fans and stakeholders for the anticipated performances in one of winter sports’ premier events.
