The 2026 Skate America is a figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU). Organized and hosted by U.S. Figure Skating, it is the fourth event of the 2026–27 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating: a senior-level international invitational competition series. It will be held from November 13 to 15 at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington, in the United States. Medals will be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters will earn points based on their results, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline at the end of the season will be invited to then compete at the 2026–27 Grand Prix Final in Chongqing, China.
Background The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating is a series of seven events sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and held during the autumn: six qualifying events and the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. This allows skaters to perfect their programs earlier in the season, as well as compete against the skaters whom they would later encounter at the World Championships. Skaters earn points based on their results in their respective competitions and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to compete at the Grand Prix Final. The first iteration of Skate America – then called the Norton Skate – was held in 1979 in Lake Placid, New York, and was the test event for the 1980 Winter Olympics. When the ISU launched the Grand Prix series in 1995, Skate America was one of the five qualifying events. It has been a Grand Prix event every year since.
The 2026 Skate America is the fourth event of the 2026–27 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series, and will be held from November 13 to 15 at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington, in the United States.
