The 2025–26 figure skating season will begin on July 1, 2025, and end on June 30, 2026. During this season, elite skaters will compete at the ISU Championship level at the 2026 European Championships, Four Continents Championships, World Junior Championships, and the World Championships, as well as at the 2026 Winter Olympics. They will also compete at elite events such as the ISU Challenger Series, the Grand Prix and Junior Grand Prix series, culminating at the Grand Prix Final.
On December 20, 2024, the International Skating Union (ISU) announced that the Figure Skating Federation of Russia and the Skating Union of Belarus would be permitted to nominate a figure skater or team from each discipline to participate at the 2025 Olympic Winter Games Figure Skating Qualifying Competition in Beijing, China as a means to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics as Individual Neutral Figure Skating Athletes (AINs). These skaters were required to pass a special screening process to assess whether they had displayed any active support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine or any contractual links to Russian or Belarusian military and other national security agencies. It was also announced that all figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus would otherwise remain banned from attending all other international competitions. On May 13, 2025, the ISU released the list of skaters that had been granted AIN status. No Russian pair skating and ice dance team nominations were approved by the ISU.
