2022–23 Tour de Ski

The 2022–23 Tour de Ski was the 17th edition of the Tour de Ski and part of the 2022–23 FIS Cross-Country World Cup. The World Cup stage event began in Val Müstair, Switzerland on 31 December 2022 and concluded with the Final Climb stage in Val di Fiemme, Italy, on 8 January 2023. The tour started in Val Müstair for the third time. Johannes Høsflot Klæbo from Norway and Natalya Nepryayeva from Russia were the winners of previous edition. Nepryayeva couldn't defend her title, because of the decision of FIS council, after Russia and Belarus were suspended for this World cup season due to Russian invasion of Ukraine. Klæbo defended the title after winning six stages in a row, while Frida Karlsson from Sweden took the victory on the women's side.

Overall leadership Two main individual classifications are contested in the 2022–23 Tour de Ski, as well as a team competition. The most important is the overall standings, calculated by adding each skier's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses (time subtracted) are awarded at both sprint stages and at intermediate points during mass start stage 6. In the sprint stages, the winners are awarded 60 bonus seconds, while on mass start stage 6, the first ten skiers past the intermediate point receive from 15 seconds to 1 seconds. The skier with the lowest cumulative time is the overall winner of the Tour de Ski. For the fourth time in Tour history, the skier leading the overall standings will wear a yellow bib.

The second competition will be the points standings, which replaced the sprint competition from past editions. The skiers who will receive the highest number of points during the Tour will win the points standings. The points available for each stage finish are determined by the stage's type. The leader will be identified by a red bib. + Points standings points for the top 10 positions by type Type 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 In finish Sprint 30 24 20 16 12 10 8 6 4 2 Pursuit Intermediate sprint Interval start () 15 12 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1 Mass start

The final competition will be a team competition. This is calculated using the finishing times of the best two skiers of both genders per team on each stage; the leading team is the team with the lowest cumulative time.
