Figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics will be hosted at the Milano Ice Skating Arena in Assago, just outside Milan, Italy, from February 6 to February 19, 2026. This part of the Games includes five medal events: men’s singles, women’s singles, pairs, ice dance, and the team event, blending tradition with modern Olympic competition. The team event kicks things off before the individual events, featuring short and free programs from all four disciplines and adding a tactical team element to the sport. Skaters qualify through the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships and a separate Olympic qualifying competition, earning one of the 142 quota spots available for athletes. The Milano Ice Skating Arena holds nearly 10,000 spectators, offering an electric atmosphere for top skaters to show off their skills and artistry. With stars like Ilia Malinin dominating recent Championships and others pushing to earn Olympic berths from national trials, the field is packed with elite talent and strong medal contenders. In addition to competition, the Games will include an exhibition gala after the medals are decided, giving fans a chance to see skaters perform in a more relaxed setting. Figure skating remains one of the most watched and celebrated Winter Olympic sports, thanks to its mix of athleticism, choreography, and high‑stakes drama.
