Martin Nevland was already successful in cross-country skiing in 2018, finishing second among over 100 participants at the national junior championships. He made his international debut in biathlon at the 2019 Youth Olympic Festival, where he missed Top-10 finishes. The following year, he participated in the 2020 Junior World Championships in Lenzerheide and immediately achieved success. He secured 4th place in the sprint and won the individual, pursuit, and relay races convincingly with Martin Uldal and Morten Tørblad Sameien. Two years later, he returned to the Junior World Championships and once again became a double world champion, winning gold in the sprint and pursuit. In the relay event, he missed another gold medal due to a penalty lap in the final shooting. At the beginning of the 2022/23 winter season, Nevland made his debut in the IBU Cup and immediately finished 4th in the pursuit in Idre. Although he achieved two more fourth places in Ridnaun, he was removed from the team after the competitions in Osrblie. At the Junior World Championships in Shchuchinsk, Kazakhstan, he became a junior world champion again in the pursuit and relay events with Nevland, Trym Gerhardsen, Einar Hedegart, and Isak Frey.
