You can watch figure skating on major sports TV networks, official federation streams, and general sports streaming platforms, with lots of extra coverage during the 2026 Winter Olympic season.

Main places to watch figure skating

1. Big events (like the 2026 Winter Olympics)

For the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Games, figure skating is airing widely and is easy to stream.

  • TV channels (U.S.): NBC and USA Network show the main figure skating events, including singles, pairs, dance, and the team event.
  • Streaming (U.S.):
    • Peacock carries live and on‑demand coverage of all Olympic figure skating sessions when you subscribe to a Peacock plan.
* NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC app, and the NBC Sports app stream events if you log in with a TV provider.
  • Example schedule: During Milan–Cortina, figure skating runs from February 6–19, with team, pairs, dance, and men’s and women’s events spread across those dates.

You can absolutely treat the Olympics like a “figure skating festival”: pick a day, open Peacock or NBC’s Olympic hub, and just leave the skating on in the background while you go about your evening.

2. Season‑long competitions (Grand Prix, Worlds, Nationals)

Outside the Olympics, there’s a full 2025–26 figure skating season with regular TV and streaming coverage.

  • Grand Prix & major ISU events:
    • NBC Sports and Peacock provide live and taped coverage of key international competitions in the 2025–26 season in the U.S.
  • U.S. Figure Skating events:
    • U.S. Figure Skating’s official “Watch” page aggregates where to watch big domestic competitions (e.g., U.S. Championships) and some lower‑level events.
* They also publish a TV schedule page listing broadcast and streaming info for the season.
  • National championships:
    • U.S. Championships and similar events usually air on NBC/USA Network and stream on Peacock in Olympic‑cycle seasons.

Mini example: If you’re a new fan who just fell in love with a skater at the Olympics, you’ll likely find them again on NBC/Peacock during the Grand Prix series and at national championships in late 2025 and early 2026.

3. Official federation and fan resources

If you want a “hub” that tells you exactly where and when every event is airing, there are a couple of useful sites.

  • U.S. Figure Skating “Watch” page:
    • Lists broadcast partners and streaming options for U.S. events and sometimes links out to live coverage.
  • “So You Want To Watch Figure Skating”:
    • A fan site that posts guides, calendars, and event pages explaining how to watch specific competitions, including time zone help and links to streams where possible.

Think of these as your planning tools: you check one of these pages early in the week, see “oh, there’s a Grand Prix event on Peacock Saturday,” and build your snack plan accordingly.

Forum‑style note & current buzz

Right now, a lot of fan discussions are about how convenient Peacock and NBC’s platforms make it to stream “every skater” during Milan–Cortina, especially venue feeds with no commentary. Fans also swap links from sites like “So You Want To Watch Figure Skating” to help newcomers navigate the dense schedule and learn what to watch first.

“Once you figure out which app has your event, it’s actually easier than old‑school channel surfing—just follow the calendar and click the session you want.”

TL;DR: In 2026, your best starting point to watch figure skating is NBC/USA on TV, Peacock and NBC’s apps for streaming, and U.S. Figure Skating or fan guide sites to track exactly when each event is on.
