This week, 200 of the best figure skaters in the world will gather in Boston for the 2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships. The event comes just two months after the figure skating community lost 14 members in the deadly plane crash in D.C.. There are plans to honor those lost with a remembrance ceremony on Wednesday night. This is the first worlds held on U.S. soil since 2016, and the World Figure Skating Championships one year prior to the Winter Olympics have more weight, so for Team USA, the pressure is certainly on.
Defending champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates could become the first ice dancers to win their third consecutive world title in 28 years. American Amber Glenn has the world’s top skater title this season, and Ilia Malinin has a chance to become the second American men’s singles skater to repeat as world champion in the last 40 years.
The competition begins this Wednesday, Mar. 26. All of the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships will stream on Peacock, and some coverage will also air across NBC and USA Network.

Who is competing in the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships?
Defending world champions Ilia Malinin and Madison Chock and Evan Bates, and 2025 U.S. champion Amber Glenn will headline Team USA at the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships.
Chock and Bates could potentially become the first ice dancers to win a third consecutive world title in 28 years. Meanwhile Malinin is aiming to become the second American men’s singles skater to repeat as world champion in the last 40 years (after Nathan Chen).
The competition will be hosted by the renowned Skating Club of Boston, which was heavily impacted by the tragic D.C. plane crash back in January. The club lost three of its skaters in the deadly crash — Jinna Han, Spencer Lane and Olivia Ter — and two coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who were also world champions in their own right. The loss is likely to be felt throughout the entire competition, by Team USA and beyond.
When is the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships memorial special?
The ISU 2025 World Figure Skating Championships will hold a remembrance ceremony for the six members of the figure skating community lost in the D.C. plane crash. The ceremony will stream on Peacock on Wednesday, Mar. 26 at 6:15 p.m. ET.
NBC will also re-air Legacy on Ice, a special covering the skating community’s memorial gala for the lost skaters, this Sunday. Legacy on Ice featured performances by Malinin, U.S. champion Amber Glenn, 13-year-old Isabella Aparicio (skating in memory of her late brother and father) and Maxim Naumov, the son of Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov.
