ISU World Figure Skating Championships Return to the Czech Republic After 33 Years - Prague Daily News
The Czech Figure Skating Association is looking forward to building on the success of hosting the ISU European Figure Skating Championships in Ostrava in 2017 by welcoming another major event: the ISU World Figure Skating Championships. This prestigious competition will return to the Czech...

This prestigious competition will return to the Czech Republic after 33 years, bringing the world’s top male and female figure skaters to Prague’s O2 Arena. Athletes will compete for championship titles in the Czech capital from 24 to 29 March 2026.
In Czechoslovakia’s history, the ISU World Championships were held twice: in 1962 in Prague and in 1973 in Bratislava. As an independent country, the Czech Republic will host the ISU World Figure Skating Championships for the second time (after 1993 in Prague), having been awarded the event by the International Skating Union (ISU) in December 2022. The Czech Republic will take the hosting baton from the USA, which will host the 2025 edition in Boston.
“Being awarded the event was a delightful surprise for me. While I knew we had hosted many excellent events, including the outstanding 2017 ISU European Figure Skating Championships in Ostrava, I am convinced that hosting this major figure skating event – the second most important competition after the Olympic Games – is significant not only for Czech figure skating but for the entire country,” says Stanislav Židek, President of the Czech Figure Skating Association, at a press conference on Monday in Prague.

In addition to the sports programme, organisers are planning a variety of accompanying events to enhance fans’ experiences.
