2025-26 Season Program Announcements (Updated!)
A running tab of every major skater’s program announcement I’ve heard of
It might only be June, but seriously, prepare your triple axles right now because October is coming. We’ve waited four long years for this Olympic season. Program announcements are starting to flow so I thought I would create a running post of them when I hear them. You can find my sources at the bottom if you want to get in on the figure skating anticipation action, too. And please come back! I will be updating this post! Until then, here is what I’ve got. Enjoy!
