For six days, the Czech capital will become the center of world figure skating. From March 24 to 29, 2026, the O₂ arena will host the ISU Championships, the highlight of the season, which is watched by millions of fans around the world every year. Prague is hosting the World Championships for the third time in history, most recently in 1993. Every day will offer exciting competitions, a gala show full of elegance, and the opportunity to experience an atmosphere that combines sport, art, and emotion. Come and be part of history, discover the beauty of figure skating, and be enchanted by the atmosphere of a city that combines tradition, creativity, and a modern lifestyle. The 200 best figure skaters from 50 countries will arrive to compete for world championship titles in four disciplines—men’s, women’s, pairs, and ice dancing. The competition will begin on Wednesday, March 25, with the women’s and pairs short programs, followed by the men’s and pairs free skates on Thursday. Friday will feature the pairs rhythm dances and women’s free skates, while Saturday will see the men’s finals and free dances. The highlight will be Sunday’s exhibition on March 29, which will close the championship with an unforgettable show. Tickets are available online at the official website prague2026.org.
