when do chock and bates skate next

Madison Chock and Evan Bates’ next (and likely final) skates at these Olympics are:

  • Ice dance free dance: today, February 11, 2026 , starting at 1:30 p.m. ET for the free dance segment of the ice dance event.
  • They already skated their rhythm dance on February 9 and their team event programs on February 6 (team rhythm dance) and February 7 (team free dance) , so today’s free dance is their next and only remaining competition skate at these Games.

Quick Scoop

  • The ice dance events at the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics run February 6–11 , with Chock/Bates entered as Team USA’s top ice dance pair.
  • The free dance on Feb. 11 decides the Olympic medals, so this is the big one for them.
  • U.S. coverage lists the free dance beginning around 1:30 p.m. ET , with broadcasts on major U.S. Olympic rights holders’ TV channels and streaming platforms (like the main Olympic broadcaster’s apps and site).

If you’re planning to watch, look for the ice dance free dance window on today’s figure skating schedule; Chock and Bates will skate within that block rather than at a totally separate time.

TL;DR: They skate next in the ice dance free dance today, Feb. 11, 2026, around 1:30 p.m. ET , which is the medal-deciding segment.
