The International Skating Union (ISU) has released its 2026â27 season calendar, and synchronized skating gets a headline moment: for the first time, the sport's Junior and Senior World Championships are set to be staged together in the same host city and window.
Nottingham 2027: the key dates to circle
According to the ISU calendar announcement, Nottingham 2027 is positioned as the synchronized skating rendezvous of the season, running across late March and early April 2027.
The combined Worlds concept is a major shift for the discipline that typically separates its championship peaks, and it is expected to concentrate attention, media coverage and competitive intensity into a single marquee event.

For synchronized skating, it is a chance to amplify visibility and build a single, must-watch moment on the international calendar.
