I have been checking everywhere and on my Peacock site - it's included with my Spectrum cable - and unlike last year I see no Grand Prix showings scheduled except for Skate America & possibly Skate Canada. With the winter Olympics coming up it boggles my mind that it seems Peacock & NBCare not showing all the competitions.
Peacock TV schedule 2025-26?

I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, so I don't know all the ins and outs of what is going on in American broadcasting. But could the re-organisation currently going on at NBC Universal, whereby the NBC Universal Cable Entertainment division is being spun off as a separate company called "Versant" this coming Monday, be causing complications to planning schedules?
Maybe things will start to become clearer after next week.

I think that you are jumping to an unwarranted conclusion.
For the Grand Prix series, NBC broadcast coverage every year is only highlights, except for its extensive coverage of Skate America. I hope that the full GP television/streaming schedule will be coming before too long, but with France as the first in the GP series this season, NBC will have less broadcast coverage to promote until Skate America in November. (And I don't think NBC ever has shouted from the rooftops about Peacock coverage.)
Emphasis added:
"In April 2018, U.S. Figure Skating announced two major media rights agreements that guarantee unprecedented coverage of figure skating in the United States through the 2026 season. ...
The ISU agreement with icenetwork, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Figure Skating, covers multiple distribution platforms and guarantees live coverage of ISU events, including the World Figure Skating Championships, the Four Continents Championships and the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series on Peacock Premium, as well as television coverage on NBC, NBC Sports Network and the Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA."

In 2017, when Skate America also was not until November, NBC and USFS did not announce the television schedule until Oct 16 -- which was only a few days before the season's first GP (in Russia) started on Oct 20.

I hope you are right because right now I am looking at upcoming sports on Peacock & see nothing for Grand Prix France. Got really spoiled last year with Peacock & USA network coverage with even practice hosted by Jean Luc Baker. And had the choice of watching regular Peacock with the NBC crew or the International with Mark which by the way was so much better than the "chatty kathy" group of Tara & Johnny at NBC.

Yes, I think it's just too early. Peacock tiles eventually should show up.
And especially with Ilia at GP France, I expect that USFS/NBC will be giving some promotion (slightly?) before the NBC broadcast of highlights from France.
I do hope that about six weeks from now, Jean-Luc Baker once again will host coverage of Skate America practices.
For 2024 Skate America, JLB's participation did not become public knowledge until a few days in advance.

The 2024-25 season's schedule is at your link.
At least for me, I get the old season when I click on your link.
Are you seeing the 2025-26 season's schedule at your link?
Oh bummer you are right. I am finding Peacock will be streaming but no other info.

So... this might change.
Right now, my cable box is saying that there's skating on NBC on 10/18 from 3:30pm to 6pm. However, the cable box listing is saying that it's Skate America rather than France, lol.

I meant Oct 25 at 3:00 pm.
I wonder if not repeats they are replaying.
Past events so skaters , teams, advertising can make money over what did not receive first time.
Or due to some court type to replay with or without certain skaters and teams . The skaters or team won or loss a decision on court of arbitration or any means / venuevthe athlete used to contest a result or state why result should been different that the public dont have access.
France looks like world podium in 2024.

NBC used to post a schedule that included Peacock, but I have not seen it yet. (Xfiniti /Comcast/NBC owns Peacock)
USFSA used to post a link to it. So far, their Where to Watch link only lists domestic competitions and Skate America.

Usually the television schedule is posted here:
All it says is "2025-26 TV schedule coming soon!"
