The 2026 Nordic Combined Summer Grand Prix has commenced, with initial competitions held in Bischofshofen, Austria, and subsequent events scheduled for Oberstdorf, Germany. This season features a format change where the series is held exclusively on large hills.

The competition follows an announcement by the International Olympic Committee that Nordic Combined will be excluded from the 2030 Winter Olympics program. Athletes have noted that this decision increases the significance of the World Championships. 

In preparation for the Grand Prix, the German Ski Association announced its athlete selections for both the men’s and women’s rosters across the opening stages in Austria and Germany.
