The racing calendar for the FIL Luge World Cup on natural track is set. The Executive Board meeting – held as a video conference - has given the green light for the coming season, which is strictly following the coronavirus hygiene concept.

In order to come up with the new circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic, the International Luge Federation FIL has developed its own hygiene concept. Accordingly, the races are held in so-called bubbles. There are four stations in total in the World Cup. Kühtai (AUT) will start from December 10th to 13th. In addition to the World Cup opener, the only pursue-race of the season is on the program in Kühtai on Sunday. The entire World Cup bubble then moves to Winterleiten, where the next stage will be held from December 16th to 18th.

The World Cup will move to Italy in mid-January 2021, where a double World Cup will be held in Passeier (ITA) from January 14th to 17th. The fifth World Cup and the final will be held in Laas from February 10th to 13th.
