# 2025 IBU Open European Championships

The 2025 IBU Open European Championships were held from 26 January to 2 February 2025 in Val Martello, Italy. Since the Biathlon European Championships are held as “open” competitions, the field of participants is not limited to athletes from Europe. Individual athletes and teams from North and South America, Asia, and Australia also take part in the competitions.
The championships are the highlight of the 2024/25 IBU Cup season. The results of the races also count towards the overall standings of the IBU Cup.
Instead of the mixed and single mixed relay, men's and women's relays will be held again for the first time since 2015.
