BIS Events 2026/27 Update

As communicated to members last month, British Ice Skating have been carrying out a review of our event plans for the 2026/27 season.

We had hoped to announce the planned BIS competition changes for the new season this week, to give members as much time as possible to plan their season. However, an important factor in our review was the need to align better with the ISU’s event calendar and strategy. Unfortunately, as the full ISU calendar has not yet been published, we are still waiting on key information to help inform our decisions.

We appreciate your patience for the delay in releasing our revised calendar, and we will provide an update as soon as possible.

Why Are Things Changing? The review will aim to ensure British Ice Skating events offer the best competitive experience for skaters, providing a clear progress path that enables athletes at all levels to maximise their potential. This includes ensuring our pathways connect as seamlessly as possible with international competitive opportunities, which is dependent on the ISU’s event calendar and objectives.

To this end, we are reviewing the dates and formats of BIS events for the 2026/27 season. Dependent on any relevant decisions made at the 2026 ISU Congress, further changes may be introduced for the 2027/28 season.

What’s Changing We can confirm that our Championship events have been rescheduled and will now be provisionally taking place as follows:

·      British Figure Skating Championships: 1^st-6^th December 2026

·      British Short Track Championships: 2^nd-3^rd January 2027

·      British Synchronized Skating Championships: 6^th-9^th January 2027

·      British Solo Ice Dance Championships and British Adult Figure Skating Championships dates to be confirmed soon.

All other BIS events are now under review. We will aim to provide an update to members with the new dates and schedule for our events programme as soon as possible.
