The event will be January 20-26, 2025, at INTRUST Bank Arena, and this will be the first time the U.S. Championships will be held in Wichita and in the state of Kansas.

The U.S Figure Skating Championships have the potential for a significant economic impact on Wichita, as past events have generated an estimated $8 million in host markets. Additionally, NBC has provided more than 40 hours of live coverage across its networks.
Susie Santo, president and CEO of Visit Wichita, said in a press release, “It has been an honor to host four figure skating events over the last seven years, facilitating a strong relationship with U.S. Figure Skating and giving us the chance to gain the trust and experience needed to host U.S. Figure Skating’s most prestigious event. This is an incredible opportunity for Wichita to showcase our energetic and welcoming city to figure skating athletes and fans from around the country.”
Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said, “U.S. Figure Skating’s selection of Wichita to host this prestigious competition is an honor for the entire state. While these elite athletes showcase their talent on the ice, Kansas will be on full display to the skating community around the world.”
