Season began in Thunder Bay, Canada on 7 December 1985 and finished in Planica, Yugoslavia on 23 March 1986. The individual World Cup winner became Finnish ski jumper Matti Nykänen (third time in his career) and Nations Cup was taken by Team of Austria.

25 men's individual events on 19 different venues in 12 countries were held on the three different continents (Europe, Asia and North America). And no cancelled this season.

Peaks of the season were FIS Ski Flying World Championships, Four Hills Tournament, Swiss Tournament and the K.O.P. International Ski Flying Week.

On 9 March 1986, at World Championships in Bad Mitterndorf, world record was improved (tied with Matti Nykänen at 191 metres (627 ft) by Andreas Felder. Those two flight were the reason FIS limited (didn't) recognize point for jumps over 191 meters in the next seven years. And this competition was also known by series of horrible crashes from a great height.

2. Only one round held in Liberec due to strong wind and snow.
