SUMMARY:2026 Cup of China
DESCRIPTION:2026 Cup of China: Schedule\, Tickets\, & Results\n2026 Cup of China will take place November 6–8\, 2026\, in Shenzhen\, Guangdong\, China\, at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre Arena. It is the third of six stops in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and will be hosted by the Chinese Figure Skating Association. \nThis event features top international skaters competing in men’s\, women’s\, pairs\, and ice dance as part of the ISU Grand Prix series. \nThis page includes the full schedule\, ticket information\, entries\, and results for Cup of China 2026 in Shenzhen\, Guangdong\, China. \n\n\nLatest updates on 2026 Cup of China\n\nApril 27\, 2026: ISU Official announcement\nApril 14\, 2026: Event announced by the Chinese Figure Skating Association\n\nCup of China 2026 details\n\nDates: November 6–8\, 2026\nLocation: Shenzhen\, Guangdong\, China\nVenue: Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre\nTickets: Pending\nHost: Chinese Figure Skating Association\nSeries: ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating\nDisciplines: Men\, Women\, Pairs\, Ice Dance\nISU Event page\n\n2026 Cup of China schedule\nWhile the specific session-by-session times for Cup of China are typically released closer to the event in the fall\, the event typically runs Friday through Sunday\, with practices beginning earlier in the week. While the general competition window is confirmed\, the exact timetable has not been released. \nNote: Schedule is tentative and subject to change. \n\n\n\nDate\nSession\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, Nov 6\nCompetitions\n\n\nSaturday\, Nov 7\nCompetitions\n\n\nSunday\, Nov 8\nCompetitions / Exhibition Gala\n\n\n\n2026 Cup of China Tickets\nTicket information for Cup of China 2026 is expected soon! \n \n\nAerial view of the Universiade Sports Center in Longgang District\, Shenzhen City\, Guangdong Province of China. \nFan and Travel Notes for Shenzhen\nHost City Overview\nSet in the fast-growing tech hub of Shenzhen\, the 2026 Cup of China offers a very different Grand Prix experience—modern\, energetic\, and subtropical. Located just across the border from Hong Kong\, Shenzhen blends futuristic skylines with green parks and a thriving food scene. Expect mild-to-warm temperatures in the fall\, along with a lively urban atmosphere that stays active well into the evening. \nVenue & Getting Around\nThe competition is expected to take place at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre Arena in Longgang District\, a large\, modern complex built for international events. While it’s not in the downtown core\, Shenzhen’s clean and efficient metro system makes it relatively easy to reach. Allow extra travel time from central districts like Futian or Nanshan\, especially during peak hours. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely available\, though traffic can be heavy. \nTravel Tips\nInternational fans will typically arrive via Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport or connect through nearby Hong Kong. Visa requirements vary by nationality\, so check in advance—some travelers may be eligible for visa-free transit policies. English is not as widely spoken as in some other Grand Prix host cities\, so translation apps and hotel concierge assistance can be helpful. Mobile payments (WeChat Pay/Alipay) are dominant\, so setting those up beforehand is strongly recommended. \nWhere to Stay\nMost visitors choose accommodations in Futian (central business district) or Luohu (closer to the Hong Kong border)\, both offering a wide range of hotels and dining options. Staying closer to the venue in Longgang may reduce commute time but offers fewer tourist amenities. If you’re combining the event with sightseeing\, Futian is generally the most convenient base. \nFood & Sightseeing\nShenzhen is known for its Cantonese cuisine\, fresh seafood\, and street food culture. Don’t miss local specialties like dim sum\, roast meats\, and late-night food markets. For downtime between events\, fans can explore attractions such as Window of the World or the scenic Lianhuashan Park. For a quick international detour\, Hong Kong is just a short train ride away. \nFan Experience\nChinese skating crowds are known for being enthusiastic and well-organized\, often bringing banners and gifts for their favorite skaters. Merchandise and fan engagement areas are typically available at major events\, though expect security checks and structured entry procedures. With Shenzhen’s reputation for hosting large-scale events\, fans can expect a polished and high-tech competition environment. \nCup of China 2026 Entries\nA list of competitors for Cup of China 2026 will be announced as part of the ISU Grand Prix assignments. \nCup of China 2026 Results\nThis section will be updated with a link to the starting orders and/or results when they become available. \nFull 2026–27 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Schedule\n\n\n\nEvent\nDates\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n2026 Grand Prix de France\nOctober 23–25\, 2026\nAngers\, France\n\n\n2026 Skate Canada International\nOctober 30–November 1\, 2026\nKelowna\, Canada\n\n\n2026 Cup of China\nNovember 6–8\, 2026\nShenzhen\, China\n\n\n2026 Skate America\nNovember 13–15\, 2026\nEverett\, WA\, USA\n\n\n2026 Finlandia Trophy\nNovember 20–21\, 2026\nHelsinki\, Finland\n\n\n2026 NHK Trophy\nNovember 27–29\, 2026\nTokyo\, Japan\n\n\n2026–27 ISU Grand Prix Final\nDecember 10–13\, 2026\nChongqing\, China\n\n\n\nSee also: Figure skating events calendar \nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhen is 2026 Cup of China?\nCup of China 2026 will take place November 6–8\, 2026. \nWhere will 2026 Cup of China be held?\nThe event will be held at the Shenzhen\, Guangdong\, China\, at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre Arena. \nWhat is Cup of China in figure skating?\nCup of China is an international competition that is part of the ISU Grand Prix series. \nWhen do tickets go on sale?\nTicket information for Cup of China 2026 is expected soon! \nWho will compete at 2026 Cup of China?\nA list of competitors will be announced later as part of the Grand Prix assignments. \nHow can I watch Cup of China 2026?\nBroadcast and streaming information will be available closer to the event. \nWho won the 2025 Cup of China?\nExplore full results and winners from the Cup of China 2025 across all disciplines: \n\n\n\nDiscipline\nGold\nSilver\nBronze\n\n\n\n\nIce Dance\nMadison Chock and Evan Bates\nEmilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik\nEvgeniia Lopareva and Geoffrey Brissaud\n\n\nPairs\nAnastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava\nSara Conti and Niccolo Macii\nWenjing Sui and Cong Han\n\n\nWomen\nAmber Glenn\nAlysa Liu\nRinka Watanabe\n\n\nMen\nShun Sato\nDaniel Grassl\nMikhail Shaidorov\n\n\n\nSee also: Figure skating events calendar

SUMMARY:2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final
DESCRIPTION:2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final: Schedule\, Tickets & Results\nThe 2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final of Figure Skating and the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final is currently scheduled to take place December 10-13\, 2026\, in Chongqing\, China. It will be held with the approval and the assistance of the International Skating Union\, organized under the responsibility of the Chinese Figure Skating Association. \nThe event is the culmination of the 2026-27 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and ISU Junior Grand Prix series in which the top six skaters/teams from each discipline have qualified based on the scores from the individual events they competed in. \nLatest updates on 2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final\n\nApril 27\, 2026: ISU Official announcement\n\n2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final details\n\nDates: December 10-13\, 2026\nLocation: Chongqing\, China\nVenue: To be announced\nTickets: Pending\nHost: Chinese Figure Skating Association\nSeries: ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating\nDisciplines: Men\, Women\, Pairs\, Ice Dance\nISU Event Page\n\n2026 ISU Grand Prix Final schedule\nThe Grand Prix Final follows a fairly consistent format each year\, even though the exact session times are released closer to the event. Because it includes both senior and junior competitions\, the schedule is compact but busy\, typically running over four days. \n\n\nNote: Schedule is tentative and subject to change. \n\n\n\nDate\nSession\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, Dec 10\nCompetition\n\n\nSaturday\, Dec 11\nCompetition\n\n\nSunday\, Dec 12\nCompetition\n\n\nSunday\, Dec 13\nCompetition\n\n\n\n2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final Tickets\nTicket information for the 2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final will be posted as the information becomes available. \n \n\nChongqing skyline at night. \nFan and Travel Notes for Chongqing\nHost City Overview\nSet at the dramatic confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers\, Chongqing immediately stands out as one of the most visually striking stops on the Grand Prix circuit. Often referred to as China’s “Mountain City” and “Fog City\,” it blends steep hills\, neon-lit skylines\, and layered architecture into a setting that feels almost futuristic. \nUnlike traditional flat host cities\, Chongqing is built vertically. As a result\, escalators\, stairways\, and multi-level transit are not just features but essential parts of daily life. Consequently\, navigating the city begins to feel like exploring a living maze\, which in turn adds a sense of discovery for visiting fans. \nMeanwhile\, Chongqing’s bold food culture further defines the experience. In particular\, its signature spicy hot pot has earned the city a reputation as one of the most immersive culinary destinations on the Grand Prix calendar. \nWeather and what to expect\nBy early December\, when the Grand Prix Final takes place\, Chongqing transitions into a cool and damp period that feels more like an extended autumn than a true winter. Although temperatures remain relatively mild\, the city’s humidity and frequent cloud cover create a lingering chill that often feels colder than expected. At the same time\, mist and low clouds are common\, softening the skyline and reinforcing the city’s distinctive atmosphere. \nFor visiting fans\, this means preparing for conditions that are comfortable for walking but rarely crisp or dry. As a result\, layering becomes especially important\, since indoor venues and metro systems are well heated while outdoor conditions can feel noticeably cooler. In addition\, a light coat\, sweaters\, and water-resistant footwear are particularly useful in a city where stairs and sloped streets are part of everyday movement. Because light rain or drizzle can appear at any time\, carrying an umbrella is less of a precaution and more of a necessity. \nGetting Around\nAlthough Chongqing sits inland\, it remains highly accessible thanks to a major international airport with extensive domestic connections and a growing number of international routes. From there\, the journey into the city center typically takes under an hour\, depending on traffic and final destination. \nOnce in the city\, the metro system offers the most efficient way to move between districts\, with modern trains and clear signage connecting key areas. In addition\, ride-hailing services are widely available and often provide the simplest option for direct trips\, particularly after evening sessions. \nHowever\, what truly sets Chongqing apart is how movement through the city feels. Unlike most destinations\, walking is rarely flat\, and even short distances can involve significant elevation changes. As a result\, escalators and pedestrian pathways often become essential parts of the journey. At the same time\, one of the most memorable ways to cross the river is by cable car\, which not only serves as transportation but also offers sweeping views of the skyline—quickly turning a routine trip into part of the overall experience. \nAway from the Arena\nBeyond the competition venue\, much of the fan experience naturally centers around several key districts that showcase the city’s character. Most notably\, Hongya Cave stands out as one of Chongqing’s most recognizable landmarks. With its multi-level riverside design and glowing nighttime presence\, it draws visitors into a maze of walkways\, restaurants\, and scenic viewpoints. Nearby\, the Jiefangbei district functions as the commercial core\, where modern shopping streets\, restaurants\, and hotels create a convenient and lively base for traveling fans. \nFor those looking to step away from the intensity of the city center\, Ciqikou Ancient Town provides a contrasting experience. Here\, narrow streets\, traditional architecture\, and a steady rhythm of local snacks and small shops offer a glimpse into Chongqing’s historical roots\, creating a slower and more reflective atmosphere. \nAt the same time\, food remains central to the Chongqing experience. Above all\, the city’s famous hot pot—known for its deep red broth and signature numbing spice—defines its culinary identity. Even for those unfamiliar with its intensity\, it quickly becomes an essential part of the visit\, especially since milder variations are widely available. \nPractical Notes\nIn general\, traveling to Chongqing rewards a bit of preparation. While major hotels and transportation systems are well-equipped for international visitors\, English is less widely spoken than in cities like Beijing or Shanghai. Therefore\, using translation apps can make daily interactions significantly easier. Similarly\, although digital payments dominate most transactions\, international cards are increasingly accepted at larger establishments. \nIn addition\, adjusting to the time difference can play an important role in the overall experience\, particularly for fans arriving from North America. For that reason\, arriving a day or two early can help ease the transition. Finally\, while air quality can vary\, it is generally manageable during the late autumn and early winter period. \n2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final Entries\nA list of competitors for Cup of China 2026 will be announced as part of the ISU Grand Prix assignments. \n2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final Results\nThis section will be updated with a link to the starting orders and/or results when they become available. \nFull 2026-27 ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Schedule\n\n\n\nEvent\nDates\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n2026 JGP Xi’an\nAugust 20–22\, 2026\nXi’an\, China\n\n\n2026 JGP Riga Cup\nAugust 27–29\, 2026\nRiga\, Latvia\n\n\n2026 JGP Bangkok\nSeptember 3–5\, 2026\nBangkok\, Thailand\n\n\n2026 JGP Ankara\nSeptember 17–19\, 2026\nAnkara\, Turkey\n\n\n2026 JGP Batumi\nSeptember 24–26\, 2026\nBatumi\, Georgia\n\n\n2026 JGP Ljubljana\nOctober 1–3\, 2026\nLjubljana\, Slovenia\n\n\n2026 JGP Gdansk\nOctober 8–10\, 2026\nGdansk\, Poland\n\n\n2026–27 Junior Grand Prix Figure Skating Final\nDecember 10–13\, 2026\nChongqing\, China\n\n\n\nFull 2026–27 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Schedule\n\n\n\nEvent\nDates\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n2026 Grand Prix de France\nOctober 23–25\, 2026\nAngers\, France\n\n\n2026 Skate Canada International\nOctober 30–November 1\, 2026\nKelowna\, Canada\n\n\n2026 Cup of China\nNovember 6–8\, 2026\nShenzhen\, China\n\n\n2026 Skate America\nNovember 13–15\, 2026\nEverett\, WA\, USA\n\n\n2026 Finlandia Trophy\nNovember 20–21\, 2026\nHelsinki\, Finland\n\n\n2026 NHK Trophy\nNovember 27–29\, 2026\nTokyo\, Japan\n\n\n2026–27 ISU Grand Prix Final\nDecember 10–13\, 2026\nChongqing\, China\n\n\n\n2026-27 Grand Prix Final Tickets\nTicket information will be available this fall. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhen is the 2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final?\nThe 2026–27 ISU Grand Prix Final will be held December 10–13\, 2026. \nWhere will the 2026-27 ISU Grand Prix Final be held?\nThe event will be held in Chongqing\, China.
