The 2026 Olympic Winter Games will feature a demanding biathlon schedule, with athletes competing in eleven events over a span of just 13 days. All biathlon races will be held in Antholz, located approximately 400 kilometers from Milan, which means that athletes and fans alike will need to travel to experience these competitions. The event is structured to include both individual races and team relays, showcasing a diverse range of biathlon disciplines.

The competition will kick off with the Mixed Relay on February 8, where teams of two men and two women from each nation will compete. Following this, there will be individual events for both men and women, including the 20-kilometer men's race and the 15-kilometer women's race. Additionally, sprint events are scheduled for both genders, culminating in the pursuit races that feature an exciting head-to-head format based on the sprint finishing times.

Athletes from various nations will aim for gold medals, and the event promises to be a highlight of the Olympics, drawing significant attention to both the sport of biathlon and the picturesque region of Antholz. This scheduling highlights the Olympic Committee's decision to hold certain events outside the main host city, which could impact accessibility and attendance for both competitors and spectators, but also adds to the regional excitement surrounding the Games.
