The most prestigious international figure skating event held on U.S. soil is back — Saatva Skate America will take over Everett, Washington this weekend.

Skate America marks the fourth of six events on the ISU Grand Prix regular season schedule, with stops in Finland and Japan still to come. This weekend will be a make-or-break competition for many talented athletes who have their eyes set on the Grand Prix Final, which will take place in Chonqqing, China in December.

Skate America 2026 will be headlined by U.S. phenom Ilia Malinin, who’s competing for the first time since claiming a third consecutive world title in March. His biggest challengers will be Italian Daniel Grassl and American Jason Brown. In the women’s field, fans should keep an eye on Ami Nakai, Alexandra Ignatova and Sophie Joline von Felten.
