The season began on 26 November 2021 in Ruka, Finland and was scheduled to conclude with the World Cup Finals on 18–20 March 2022 in Tyumen, Russia.[1] But after the Russian invasion of Ukraine FIS announced that the World Cup Finals would be cancelled or moved.[2] As a result, the final competition was the mixed team events on 13 March 2022 in Falun, Sweden. The season featured a break in February for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

On 1 March 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, FIS decided to exclude athletes from Russia and Belarus from FIS competitions, with an immediate effect.[3]

Points distribution edit

The table shows the number of points to win in every competition in the 2021/22 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup for men and women. Team Sprint and Relay used to count only for Nations Cup but in this season they also made an impact on individual standings, unless it is mixed competition for men and women. Starting this season bonus points will be counted for sprint qualifications.[69]
