Prize money for the FIS cross-country skiing World Cup 2024/2025 remains on last year's level. Top 20 skiers are awarded with prize money in individual races and the overall competition. A total of 1,5 million euros is awarded during the season.
Prize money is awarded to the 20 best athletes in each of the
cross-country skiing World Cup competition. The prizes are the same as in the previous season and they are the same for men and women. The prizes are paid in Swiss francs.
Two seasons ago the prizes were significantly lower as only ten skiers were paid and the winner got almost 20% less than now. During the season 2024/25 the winner of each race receives a prize on 15 000 CHF. In relays and team sprints ten top teams are awarded with prize money.
The overall prizes also remain the same but the change has been huge if you compare it to the season 2021/22. Back then only six best overall were awarded and the winner got 30 000 CHF. Now 20 best overall skiers are paid and the winner is awarded with 50 000 CHF.
The total prize pool in World Cup 2024/25 is roughly 1,4 million Swiss francs, little less than 1,5 million euros.
