The upcoming Olympic Winter Games in 2026 will have a compact biathlon schedule consisting of 11 competitions held over 13 days. While the Games are hosted in Milan/Cortina, all biathlon events will take place in Antholz, South Tyrol, which is located nearly 400 kilometers away from the main venues. This geographical separation raises the logistical complexity for teams and fans wishing to attend all events.

The biathlon competition will commence with a mixed relay, featuring teams composed of two men and two women from each nation, before shifting into individual races for both men and women across various distances. Specific medals will be contested in events such as the men's 20 km individual, women's 15 km individual, and both men's and women's sprints, along with pursuit races. Notably, the mixed relay race is slated to kick-off on February 8, 2026, with the competition concluding shortly thereafter.

The results from the biathlon events will hold significance not only for individual athletes and their nations in terms of medal counts but also in showcasing the strength of biathlon as a sport leading into the Olympic Games. As athletes aim to perform at their best, the anticipation surrounding the outcomes will keep fans engaged and highlight the competitive spirit of the Winter Olympics.
