The defending champions from the previous season were Gregor Schlierenzauer from Austria, who was also the defending ski flying champion, and Sara Takanashi from Japan.

The Four Hills Tournament was won by Thomas Diethart of Austria, who won events in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bischofshofen and finished third in Oberstdorf. Before the beginning of the Tournament, Diethart competed at only four World Cup events. Peter Prevc of Slovenia won the Ski Flying Cup with one first and one second place at Kulm flying hill. Due to Planica hill being renovated, the World Cup finals took place at HS139 hill instead of the HS215.

Kamil Stoch of Poland won the men's overall title. Stoch was leading the cup standings for most of the season and managed to secure the title in the second-to-last event in Planica. Stoch also won most events of the season (six), followed by Severin Freund of Germany (five) and Prevc (three). Stoch won his first overall title and the first title for Poland since Adam Małysz in 2006. Prevc became the first Slovenian to finish at the overall podium since Primož Peterka who won the 1996–97 and 1997–98 seasons. Freund became the first German to finish at the podium since Sven Hannawald in 2003.

In women's cup, Sara Takanashi won 15 out of 18 events and secured her second consecutive overall title.
