Just because the Olympics have come and gone doesn’t mean there’s no more figure skating to watch this year. The 2026 ISU Figure Skating World Championships will get underway in Prague, Czechia, on March 25, and among the competitors taking the ice are fan favorites like Ilia Malinin, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito, along with dozens of other familiar faces you’ll recognize from the Winter Games. (A few notable skaters like Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu and ice dance silver medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates will not appear, however.) The World Championships mark the final competition of the skating season. 

You can watch every event at the 2026 ISU World Figure Skating Championships on Peacock this week, and select coverage will also air on USA and NBC. Here’s everything you need to know about the ISU World Figure Skating Championships, including a complete schedule of events and how to watch.

Dates: March 25-29, 2026

Location: Prague, Czechia

The 2026 ISU World Figure Skating Championships will stream entirely on Peacock. That includes every skater in every discipline throughout the duration of the championship event. 

While you’ll find the most comprehensive coverage of the 2026 ISU World Figure Skating Championships on Peacock, USA and NBC will both broadcast highlights and other coverage from the competition, which you can stream on DirecTV, YouTube TV and more.

The 2026 ISU World Figure Skating Championships is the last major international figure skating event of the season, and more than 200 athletes are expected to compete.

On the women’s side, Olympic silver and bronze medalists Sakamoto Kaori and Nakai Ami, also from Japan, will compete, along with Team USA stars Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito. U.S. Olympic ice dancers Caroline Green and Michael Parsons, Emilea Zingas, and Vadym Kolesnik will also compete.
