How to watch the 2026 U.S. National Figure Skating Championships

Am i missing the tiles on Peacock for the final group of ladies i just see tiles for Pairs and group 1 and 2 for the ladies. And by the way who's idea was it to split up the Pairs and Women's free skate like this just do the whole damn Pairs competition then move on to the Women tonight how hard is that to do? And of course living on the west coast NBC can't be bothered to actually show the women's FS live though they did show the women live in the SP on USA so we get tape delayed as always. 😠

Like you, this makes me mad. And broadcasting Olys, they skip around. The nats schedule is done this way IMHO to please the people who bought the broadcast rights. So THEY can make more profit. To heck with the people who paid big bucks for seats or pay Peacock for no commercials. Imagine breaking up a football game....

NBC is broadcasting woman's 2 and 3 now???
 
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. 🙄😵‍💫 :palmf:

In the words of Nancy Kerrigan: 'WHYYYY??!!!' 😭
Follow the money.... SkateGate. So I paid Peacock For no commercials. Why won't they give me a tile with no T and J and no commercials? Just put T and J on cold mic. I will pay extra. Take my money.
 
The information I posted last year no longer applies when watching via JSports! Thankfully all segments will be broadcast live on both JSports 4 and JSports On Demand! There will also be same-day tape-delayed broadcasts on JSports 4. According to the search results on JSports' website:

So you can use a Japanese IPTV service (Nozomi, Himawari, etc.) to watch US Nationals on JSports 4 or use a VPN to watch through JSports on Demand (or possibly TVer)!

(I highly recommend this method! No inane Johnny and Tara commentary!!!)
Love Japanese TV. Live and on demand for very little money. I pay very little money in the US for on demand PBS. The entire commercial supported TV just makes products more expensive. So if you are poor and don't even watch, you are paying for those inflated saleries of players of games of the ball.
 
Someone was watching today on Discord. @Karoltyna

thank you! i think you need an invitation for discord
Thank you - I am a tech dunce and wasn't able to stream anything through Discord when I tried last night - I kept being told that I didn't have access to tech channels or that I needed an invitation. Can anyone help (so that I can watch the men/ice dance this evening?) Thank you for any tips!
 
Well we on the west coast continue to get screwed over not even the Men's FS is going to be live here on NBC. At least in the past until this year the Men were usually shown live since the Men's FS was always on Sunday afternoon it's just the Ladies FS that is never shown live. Well thank goodness for Peacock maybe i'll just connect my laptop wirelessly to my 60-inch flat screen and watch it that way.
 
If one has cable in the U.S., check USA channel as well. Some skating is on as of this writing around (womens and pairs FS) 5pm central time. Then also on USA channel at 6pm central time: groups 2 and 3 of the Free Dance. Then at 7pm on regular NBC: the rest of the free dance or Group 1 and the Men's free skate, all groups.
 
Is there something wrong with the Peacock live stream tonight? Instead of the Free Dance they seem to be replaying the entire final group from the Ladies Free Skate.

We had to dig deep in the list of sports programs on Peacock to find the coverage of the Free Dance Group 1. The live feed now is showing some of the women's free skate.
USA Today's coverage of the Championship is very good with times of the upcoming performances and almost live scoring updates.
