Winter Olympic stars return to the ice for ISU World Figure Skating Championships broadcast live on SBS
5 March, 2026
Media releases
Just when the post-Olympic blues are setting in for Winter Games fans, SBS will offer the cure with its exclusive broadcast of the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2026, available both live and on catch-up via SBS On Demand from 25-30 March 2026.
Fans can relive all the passion and drama of world-class figure skating competition as the stars of the Milano Cortina Games return to compete for world titles at Prague's O2 arena, writing the next chapter of the compelling narrative that unfolded on the ice in Italy last month.
Dual world champion and pre-Olympic favourite Ilia Malinin will seek redemption after his Milano meltdown, while Olympic champion Alysa Liu will hope to extend her astonishing comeback with a second consecutive world crown.
Surprise Olympic champion Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan has opted not to compete, but silver and bronze medallists Yuma Kagiyama and Shun Sato of Japan will provide the highest level of competition for the Quad God Malinin.
I'm looking forward to getting myself that redemption competition', as I like to call it, Malinin told Olympics.com last week. I'm definitely looking at that, and I can be satisfied with it if everything goes well.
The entire women's Olympic podium will compete as Liu faces silver medallist and former world champion Kaori Sakamoto in her swansong competition, while the exciting 17-year-old Ami Nakai will make her world championships debut after winning a breakthrough bronze medal in Milano.
Olympic pairs champions Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan will skip the event, creating an opportunity for Milano Cortina 2026 silver medallists, Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava of Georgia, and bronze medallists, Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany, to contend for a first world title.
Meanwhile, the ice dancing competition will see a rematch between France's gold medal duo Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron, and American silver medallists Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who will hope to go one better and successfully defend their world title.
Aussies in action
Australia's Olympic representatives Holly Harris and Jason Chan (ice dancing) and Anastasia Golubeva and Hektor Giotopoulos-Moore (pairs) will be back on the ice.
Harris and Chan are fresh from Australia's best-ever performance in the ice dance at the Olympics (18th place) and will look to make a further rise up the ranks in Czechia.
Golubeva and Giotopoulos-Moore had a rough start to the 2025-26 season as uncertainty around Golubeva's nationality and injury issues halted their momentum. However they still finished 18th at the Olympics, and will hope to be nearer their best at the world championships, after finishing in the top ten for the past three years.
The Sport page on SBS On Demand will provide links to livestream coverage of every competition, as well as extended highlights and full replays, with highlights on social media.
SBS's global sports offering includes the FIFA World Cup 2026 , the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, as well as other cycling Grand Tours, Classics and stage races, Dakar Rally, and ISU Grand Prix figure skating events.
