Skate America 2026: The U.S. Figure Skating Grand Prix event returns to Everett’s Angel of the Winds Arena on November 13–15, 2026. It’s the third time the arena has hosted the event and the first time figure skating has come to the Pacific Northwest since 2018.
Skate America Is Coming Back to Angel of the Winds Arena in November
Everett is getting a world-class figure skating event this fall. U.S. Figure Skating has announced that the 2026 Skate America — one of six stops on the International Skating Union (ISU) Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series — will be held at Angel of the Winds Arena on November 13–15, 2026.
The event is being hosted in partnership with the Snohomish County Sports Commission and marks the fifth time Skate America has been held in Washington State. For Angel of the Winds Arena, it’s the third time hosting the prestigious event — cementing Everett’s reputation as one of the premier destinations for major figure skating in the country.
What Is Skate America?
Skate America is the first event in the ISU Grand Prix series each season, drawing the top-ranked figure skaters in the world. Competitors include Olympic medalists and World Championship contenders across four disciplines: men’s singles, women’s singles, pairs, and ice dance. The event feeds directly into the Grand Prix Final held later in the season.
The last time world-class figure skating came to the Pacific Northwest was 2018 — so this is a significant return for regional fans of the sport.

Why This Is a Big Deal for Everett
Angel of the Winds Arena has quietly become one of the most active mid-size event venues in the Pacific Northwest. Between the Silvertips playoff runs, AEW wrestling events, Billy Strings concerts, and now back-to-back Skate America appearances, the arena is drawing national attention.
“Hosting Skate America in Everett is a privilege for Angel of the Winds Arena,” said General Manager Corey Margolis of Oak View Group. The Snohomish County Sports Commission has played a key role in securing the event each time.
