Overall leadership

Two main individual classifications are contested in the 2020–21 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 stages. In the sprint stages, the winners are awarded 60 bonus seconds, while on mass start stages the first ten skiers past the intermediate point received from 15 seconds to 1 seconds. The skier with the lowest cumulative time will be the overall winner of the Tour de Ski. For the second time in Tour history, the skier leading the overall standings will wear a yellow bib.

The second competition is 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.
