The season will take a break in February and March due to the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2025 in Trondheim, Norway.

Season overview

edit

The proposed World Cup schedule for the 2024–25 season was approved at a meeting in Portorož on 8 May.

For the first time since the 2012/13 season, it will not open with a sprint competition. For the first time in 40 years, Lahti will host the traditional 50 km World Cup race. This race will not take place in Holmenkollen, in order to avoid overloading the athletes during the next two 50 km races after the World Championships.
