The 2025–26 ISU Junior Grand Prix was a series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union that was held from August 2025 through December 2025. It was the junior-level complement to the 2025–26 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earned points based on their placement at each event, and the top six in each discipline qualified to compete at the 2025–26 Junior Grand Prix Final in Nagoya, Japan.

Medal table
Qualification At each event, skaters earn points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the seventh event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:
Placement Singles Pairs/Ice dance 1st 15 15 2nd 13 13 3rd 11 11 4th 9 9 5th 7 7 6th 5 5 7th 4 4 8th 3 3 9th 2 rowspan="2" 10th 1
There are seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points: Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events. Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another. Participated in two events. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events. Highest number of total participants at the events.
If a tie remains, it is considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
