Tickets for the Russian figure skating team's test skates in Moscow

The new season starts here. The Russian National Figure Skating Team's test skates are an event fans eagerly await all summer, and in 2026, they will be held at the CSKA Arena in Moscow. The national team's skaters will present their short program for the first time, as well as one of the season's free skates—and spectators in the stands will be the first to see them. Tickets are available now—get your seats while the selection is good.

The test skates directly impact the overall season. Based on their results, the coaching staff and specialists advise the athletes on what to refine in their programs, where to strengthen the choreography, and whether to change the jumping content. Some routines are completely reworked after the test skates. Therefore, the skaters' performances in September are not a showpiece, but serious work in front of the public, where every mistake is discussed and every successful element is remembered.

Interest in the test skates is also fueled by competition within the national team. Experienced Russian champions, past Russian championship winners, and recent juniors, for whom the skates are their first foray into the senior ranks, are vying for spots on the main roster. Women's singles skating in Russia traditionally remains the most competitive: new hopes emerge every season, while men's programs regularly increase in difficulty, and pairs skating and ice dancing add a touch of spectacle to the event. Come to CSKA Arena and support our skaters at the start of the season.
