Overall Champions

Johannes Thingnes Bø defended the title by winning his fifth World Cup, just ahead of brother Tarjei Bø.

Lisa Vittozzi won the World Cup for the first time in her career, being the second Italian in history to win the World Cup, after Dorothea Wierer.

The season started on 25 November 2023 in Östersund, Sweden and concluded on 17 March 2024 in Canmore, Canada.^[4]

The highlight of the season were the 2024 Biathlon World Championships in Nové Město na Moravě, Czech Republic, whose results were not included in the World Cup standings (except for the national standings).

For the first time since the 2018–19 season World Cup races was held in North America.

Norwegian men were represented on the podium in every race this season. This is the first time a country has done this since East Germany in the 1979–1980 season.^{[citation needed]}

Johannes Thingnes Bø from Norway (men's) and Julia Simon from France (women's) were the reigning champions from the previous season. Bø defended the title, while Simon finished the season in fifth place.
