And we finished with Liza's and Kamila's frees in Russia.

Peacock has the senior events at National listed here (junior events should all be livestreamed as well): https://www.peacocktv.com/sports/skating

USFS will publish an updated viewing schedule in the Fan Zone before the start of Nationals. The current TV schedule lists live coverage on USA & NBC:

US Nats just starting to populate on my DVR. Pairs short at 4:55 Eastern on Wednesday the 5th. Remember, it’s USA Network, not NBCSN.

Uhm, the US Nats Pairs SP is on the 6th...

Do we know yet what arrangements (if any) are in place for non-US viewers to watch US Nationals?

Not sure what you mean by "arrangements" but as noted above, events will be shown on Peacock and on TV networks according to the schedule Sylvia linked upthread. If you can't access Peacock, you're probably out of luck but vids will inevitably appear on YouTube.

For example, in 2020 non-US viewers could watch legally on the Olympic Channel. (It was great. We had Tanith and Charlie commentating.)

The OC will probably show some of the events the following week, but they are not scheduled to show anything live.

It's hard to say with NBC getting rid of NBCSN as of Jan 1st and everything switching to USAN. I just went to their website usanetwork.com and it asked me to provide my cable provider and sign in when I clicked on the LIVE link. If you have a US-based VPN and someone who is willing to provide you with a sign in to their cable provider, then you can probably access it.

I am sure the OC @misskarne refers to is not the same OC the american viewers get through TV: Olympic Channel 'Home of Team USA'

My Xfinity listing shows the RD starting at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT.

Also, the Women's Free Skate on NBC is NOT live on the West Coast - obviously tape-delayed for primetime. The Saturday & Sunday NBC broadcasts ARE live, though, as is everything on USA Network.

Peacock schedule for US Natls has changed markedly since two weeks ago. For ex, Pairs SP on Jan 6 now begins at 5PM est, not 3:45PM…and on and on.

Watch Figure Skating | Peacock

Stream the 2025-2026 figure skating season on Peacock.

www.peacocktv.com

It now gibes with the NBC/USA Channel times on regular TV.

Note: On Sat evening, the order of Pairs & Dance finals have been flipped. Dance (7PM est) now comes ahead of Pairs (8:30PM est)…ensuring that Dance ends at the prime viewing time?

 

[Aceon6]

Folks, remember that the start times on Peacock are nearly always wrong. They frequently display another time zone. Tune in according to the event schedule, NOT the Peacock schedule.

I’m scheduled to fly to London on Friday, January 7 and be there for a week for work.

Well, that's incredibly poor timing. At least the time-shifting for watching Euros will be much less painful than watching from North America, right?

Good luck and better watch out for another best pal, USFSA blocks everything

Really? Which country is the worst? United States

Use a good VPN. The Opera browser has a free one that works okay.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Just checked my DVR, I have all of the US figure skating episodes set to record on the Olympic channel, USA channel and NBC.

But of course I’ll be watching on Peacock

I meant to ask this earlier, where can we watch Canadian championships?

 

[Sylvia]

I meant to ask this earlier, where can we watch Canadian championships?

CBC (VPN likely required to watch the Senior events?) - I just posted info here:

2021/22 CBC Broadcast & Streaming Schedule

Looks like CBC has picked up the contract for the Canadian domestic competitions including streaming for ACI: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/figureskating/broadcast I sure hope they plan to add more coverage for Nationals. :(

When I mean Blocks everything is that I doubt any youtube video will stay up, they are just blocked once you post them and it doesn't matter if having VPN they can't be watched anywhere.

Of course since the US Championships will be broadcasted between USA Network & NBC I know there are some options to watch those channels free but will have to search

Oh I was talking about watching the live streams.

Peacock Twitter person just answered my schedule question..If what was posted is true, we will not be seeing all of the skaters.

Those people are working for Peacock as a whole, not something like IceNetwork. Figure skating fandom on the app is probably like .000001% of all of their traffic and the customer service doesn't know any more than what is already listed. I would still wait it out and let the USFS adjust.

 

[Sylvia]

Don't worry, USFS will publish their "Virtual Fan Experience" guide in the Fan Zone with all livestreaming & TV broadcast times before Nationals.

Just checked and I posted a 2021 U.S. Nationals info thread last year 2 days before the start of the Senior events (which were held before the Junior events).

Then it's not true.

I'm hoping they livestream practices on Peacock!
