The men's and women's season started on 29 November 2024 in Ruka, Finland and concluded on 23 March 2025 in Lahti, Finland.[3]
The season took a break in February and March due to the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2025 in Trondheim, Norway.
Harald Østberg Amundsen from Norway and Jessie Diggins from the United States were the reigning champions from the previous season. Amundensen did not defend his title, finishing the season in 5th place.
Johannes Høsflot Klæbo from Norway claimed the Crystal Globe for the fifth time, while Diggins successfully defended her title, securing her third World Cup title.
Season overview
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, the opening event did not feature a sprint competition. For the first time in 40 years, Lahti hosted the traditional 50 km World Cup race. This race won't take place in Holmenkollen, in order to avoid overloading the athletes during the next two 50 km races after the World Championships.
The competition in Nové Město was removed from the calendar and instead, the World Cup weekend took place in Cogne.[4]
