Walk me through how I can do this, though? Will this service be offering full coverage though? Any closed-caption English translation of the commentary?
Thanks for the printed list of events link. Much appreciated!I was just sending some of my relatives information on how to watch Nats on TV and Peacock. Here are the sad thoughts I had after looking at several schedules.
U.S. Figure Skating Nationals start next week on 6 January in St. Louis. A printed list of the events can be found here: https://stlsports.org/special-event/2026-us-figure-skating-championships/schedule/. And the colored schedule of practices and competitions for seniors is on the second page at this link: https://usfigureskating.org/documents/2025/12/4/2026USFSChampsMatrixDraft1_11-23-25.pdf. There is also information on how to watch at this U.S. Figure Skating webpage:https://usfigureskating.org/sports/2025/11/3/2026-prevagen-us-figure-skating-championships.aspx. Note that the times are probably in Central Time.
The tiles for Peacock are up and can be found with a search on “Figure Skating”. It may take a little time to find the senior events since there are some very old events still there along with tiles for the junior oomps. There are some practice cams also listed. I’m not sure exactly how NBC and Peacock will be covering this. It may be something of a mish-mash. I notice that on 7 January there is a tile for the Pairs Short Program at 2;30 PST (2 hours) and a tile tor Pairs, Women’s Short Program at 5:00 PST (3 hours). I also notice that, on the USFSA how to watch page linked above, that there will be cable TV coverage of something at 7:00 CST. So my guess is that Pairs may be shown complete on Peacock with some announcer that I don’t know. But then, a little bit of Pairs along with the women will be shown both on USA Channel and Peacock with the Tara and Johnny show and all the TV commercial interruptions. So when anything is being shown on the USA or NBC broadcast channels, we will probably see the identical stream on Peacock.
Yes, there's full coverage. No, there's no English translation, but there's far less commentary and the Japanese commentators don't talk over the performances.
I personally use Himawari because it can be downloaded onto an Amazon Fire Stick. There's some good step-by-step instructions on how to do that on Himawari's website if using a Fire Stick is an option for you.
Even worse is the separation of individual event performances due to tv coverage needs! Apparently, every discipline in the free skate/ FD segments will be broken up, with a first group going earlier in the day and a part 2 group covered later on, interrupted in the middle by a different discipline.I'm fearful that these numbskulls at NBC are planning the same mishmash they enacted at SA with 50 million ads interspersed with horrible T,T&J plus GabPap commentary, and skaters perfs and kiss 'n cry segments cut out.We all need to message Peacock and U.S. fed in advance expressing our dismay and disgust!!!
We want the option of complete U.S. Nats coverage with ad-free streams! I will forego any commentary, tho' I'd love if they'd allow Jean-Luc to do full U.S. Nats world-feed streaming commentary!
I believe Ben did it last year? I could be wrong though.I'm fearful that these numbskulls at NBC are planning the same mishmash they enacted at SA with 50 million ads interspersed with horrible T,T&J plus GabPap commentary, and skaters perfs and kiss 'n cry segments cut out.

Someone was watching today on Discord. @Karoltyna
I have both saved in my stuff.No Peacock tiles for Jr Ladies SP or FS.
So does that mean Peacock put those tiles up--presumably allowing saving--then removed them?
I don't know why you're having trouble finding them. I actually had only put the junior SP in there and was able to save the FS a little while ago after realizing I hadn't done that when I was bookmarking things the other day.
Thank you very much. It's working
I have a guide to Nozomi over on the Japanese Nationals threads. There is a curve to using the interface but if I can do it, so can others. JSports On Demand is just another channel and you can re watch for 2 weeks.
See my post # 36 IIRC
There's one that says Pairs, W Free Skate: Group 2, starting at 8pm EST Jan 9th.
