2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships: Schedule, How to Watch

Perhaps it’s the mind-boggling triple jumps or the elegant choreography, but viewers cannot get enough of competitive figure skating. And even though the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina are still one year away, fans can get their fix watching the Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships, which will see the United States’ biggest stars in the sport lace up their skates once again and compete for glory. With 180 athletes gliding into Witchita, Kansas to compete in women’s, men’s, pairs, and ice dance disciplines, it’s sure to be a sporting extravaganza.

The action-packed week is underway as Olympic and world medalists vie for top honors. The 2025 competition will serve as the final qualifier for the U.S. World and World Junior Championship teams, so there’s a lot at stake for these athletes.

Who’s competing at the 2025 Prevagen?

This week’s Championships showcase some of the most decorated American skaters the competition has ever seen, with reigning champions in all four senior disciplines returning to defend their titles. 

Fans may already be familiar with “quad god” Ilia Malinin. The 20-year-old is the only figure skater to have successfully pulled off a quadruple Axel jump in a competition (he attempted six at the Grand Prix Final in Grenoble). At Prevagen, he is headlining the men’s events as a reigning world champ, skating to “Running” by NF and “I’m Not a Vampire” by Falling in Reverse for the Free Skate.

Newly married couple Madison Chock and Evan Bates will surely bring the sizzle when they return to defend their crowns in the ice dance competition. The reigning two-time world champions grew up skating together in Michigan and eventually went on to win gold in the 2022 Beijing Olympics team event. Now they’re after a record-tying sixth career U.S. title in the ice dance category.

Singles phenomenon Amber Glenn, 25, is coming to Kansas fresh off of winning gold at the Grand Prix Final in Grenoble, France. The Texas native joined fellow gold medal winners Malinin, and Chock and Bates in making history: it was the first time Team USA secured the top spot in three senior disciplines at the prestigious competition.

A relatively new duo in the pairs figure skating competition, Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea began skating together in September 2022 and have quickly become ones to watch, winning gold at the 2024 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Expect a heartfelt performance from this enthralling duo.
