U.S. Figure Skating today announced that the 2026 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships will travel to Salt Lake City, Utah.
The competition will take place March 4-7 at the Maverick Center, where U.S. champions will be crowned in eight disciplines – from juvenile to masters – culminating with the naming of the 2026 World Synchronized Skating Team after the senior combined event.
The site of the 2034 Olympic Winter Games, Salt Lake City – as well as the state of Utah – will serve as the host for the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships for the first time.
“We are excited to bring the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships to Salt Lake City for the first time,” said Matt Farrell, CEO 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 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 of 2026.
Tickets will go on sale in the fall of 2025.
