2026 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships Head to Salt Lake City

The 2026 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships will travel to Salt Lake City, the first time the event will be held in the state of Utah and the future host of the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

“We are excited to bring the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships to Salt Lake City for the first time,” said Matt Farrell, chief executive officer of U.S. Figure Skating. “This event is a fantastic opportunity to spotlight the sport in an Olympic-caliber setting, and we’re hopeful to see synchronized skating return to the city as an Olympic event in 2034.”

The competition will take place March 4—7 at the Maverick Center, where U.S. champions will be crowned in eight disciplines culminating with the naming of the 2026 World Synchronized Skating Team. The full list of teams competing at the U.S. Synchronized Championships will be announced following the three synchronized skating sectional finals, which will be held in January 2026.

“Sports Salt Lake, a Division of Visit Salt Lake, could not be more excited to welcome the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships to Salt Lake in 2026,” said Clay Partain, chief sports officer of Sports Salt Lake. “Taking place at a venue that was part of the 2002 Winter Games, this event presents a unique opportunity to showcase the growing sport of synchronized skating to our community. Our hospitality community is ready to welcome the many teams of athletes and spectators to West Valley City and greater Salt Lake.”

Tickets will go on sale in the fall 2025.

“The U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships are a strong addition to Utah’s portfolio of world-class winter sporting events,” said Jeff Robbins, president and chief executive officer of the Utah Sports Commission. “Bringing this prestigious championship to The State of Sport for the first time highlights Utah’s continued momentum on the road to the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.”
