International Skating Union names Boston as host for the 2025 World Championships

ISU Championships will be held at TD Garden in Boston, MA.

The International Skating Union (ISU) has announced the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships will take place in Boston. This gives the U.S. the chance to host the last World Championship before the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

“We are extremely happy with the decision of the ISU Council and very thankful that the ISU has entrusted us with this very important responsibility,” U.S. Figure Skating president Sam Auxier said. “We can’t wait to welcome the world back.”

Boston has hosted the Championships previously - in 2016 at TD Garden - and the city has increasingly become an important center for figure skating in the U.S.

“We had one of the most successful World Championships back in 2016 in Boston, so we’re even more optimistic for the growth and success we can bring to the event,” said Doug Zeghibe, executive director of The Skating Club of Boston.

“Boston is a figure skating town with sophisticated and passionate fans who not only love to follow the sport but truly appreciate the work these skaters put in year after year,” Zeghibe said “We are thrilled to support U.S. Figure Skating as the local host for the event, and to help welcome the world back to Boston.”

The Tenley E. Albright Performance Center in the metro Boston city of Norwood, Mass. will host ‘Skate America’ for the first time when the Grand Prix season begins next week. Skate America is the first of six competitions leading up to the finals in Torino, Italy in December.

Some prominent skaters scheduled to compete include: Ilia Malinin, who became the first skater to land a quad in competition, Olympic silver medalists Yuma Kagiyama and bronze medalist Kaori Sakamoto of Japan, and bronze medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the U.S. The American pair won the team bronze medal at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, which could be upgraded to silver pending the Russian doping investigation.

The number of entries each country receives into the Olympics is determined by the results of the preceding World Championships. The 2025 Boston World Championships will provide an early test for the next generation of skaters, such as Nathan Chen of the U.S. and Anna Shcherbakova of Russia.
