For the first time since 2023, the maximum roster of 18 athletes will travel to the ISU Figure Skating World Championships to represent the United States.

The ISU Figure Skating World Championships 2026 take place March 24-29 at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.

U.S. Figure Skating will have three entries each in women's, men's, pairs and ice dance. Ten athletes who competed at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 return to the World Championships, including Ilia Malinin and Amber Glenn, who both brought home gold from the team event.

For Malinin, redemption is top of mind after an eighth-place finish in Milan. In Prague, Malinin will go for this third consecutive World title and fourth straight podium finish. With gold, the four-time and reigning U.S. champion would move into a tie for the fourth-most World titles of any U.S. man and he would become the first U.S. man to win three consecutive World crowns since Nathan Chen.

The reigning U.S. silver medalist, Andrew Torgashev placed 12th at the Olympic Games, scoring international personal bests for his short program, free skate and total score. A Grand Prix medalist last season, Torgashev secured silver at 2025 Nebelhorn Trophy earlier this season.

Making his senior World Championships debut is Jacob Sanchez. His first full season competing as a senior internationally, Sanchez placed seventh at his first-ever Grand Prix in China. To start 2026, Sanchez clinched the pewter medal at the Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships before competing at his first ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships and finishing just off the podium in fourth earlier this month at the ISU Junior World Figure Skating Championships 2026.

Glenn seeks her first World medal as she travels to Prague. She concluded the Olympic Games with a third-place finish in the free skate, placing fifth overall. The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2024 champion earned gold and silver at her two Grand Prix events this season before clinching her third straight U.S. championship in January.

Joining Glenn is her Olympic teammate, Isabeau Levito, as well as Sarah Everhardt.

Levito, the 2024 World silver medalist and 2023 U.S. champion, claimed fourth at Worlds last season. This season, Levito earned silver at 2025 Skate Canada International, the bronze at the U.S. Championships and was 12th at the Olympic Games last month.

Everhardt medaled at two Challenger Series events this season and secured a top-five finish at the U.S. Championships. She is the ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships 2025 bronze medalist and a two-time U.S. Championships medalist.
In the pairs competition, two teams who weren't eligible for the Olympic Games will complete their seasons at Worlds.

Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov have stood on the podium at their last three events, taking silver at 2025 Finlandia Trophy before winning their second straight U.S. title. The team that trains at The Skating Club of Boston then won gold at the Four Continents Championships. Efimova and Mitrofanov also placed sixth at Worlds in Boston last season.

Katie McBeath and Daniil Parkman are two-time U.S. Championships medalists, including bronze this season. They also added a pair of Challenger Series bronze medals to their medal collection this season as well as a sixth-place finish at Four Continents.

Efimova and Mitrofanov and McBeath and Parkman are joined by Emily Chan and Spencer Akira Howe, who look to continue their momentum from Milan. The two-time Four Continents medalists and reigning U.S. pewter medalists were the highest-finishing U.S. pairs team at the Olympic Games, finishing seventh.

In ice dance, this will mark the first World Championships roster without three-time and reigning World champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates since 2012, and so the next generation of ice dance teams will look to make their mark.

Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik seek to finish a breakout season in Prague. The duo medaled at both their Grand Prix events to make the Grand Prix Final. To start 2026, they clinched the U.S. silver medal and the gold at Four Continents. They then continued their incredible run with a fifth-place finish at the Olympic Games, where they produced international personal bests for their rhythm dance, free dance and total score.

Fifth at Worlds last season, Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko earned two top-five finishes at their Grand Prix assignments this season and bronze at the U.S. Championships. They most recently placed 11th at the Olympic Games.

Rounding out the U.S. ice dance teams are Caroline Green and Michael Parsons. Green and Parsons took home bronze at 2025 NHK Trophy as well as a pair of bronze medals from Challenger Series events in the fall. After securing the pewter medal at the U.S. Championships, they earned silver at Four Continents.

Competition begins Wednesday, March 25, with the women's and pairs short programs. After the men's short on Thursday, the first medals will be awarded following the pairs free skate. Ice dance kicks off Friday with the rhythm dance, followed by the women's free skate. Competition wraps up Saturday with the men's free skate and free dance.

All events can be streamed live on Peacock and will be available for 72 hours following their conclusion. In addition, NBC and USA Network will broadcast the competition. To view the full TV schedule, visit the U.S. Figure Skating website.
