During this season, elite skaters will compete at the ISU Championship level at the 2024 European Championships , Four Continents Championships , World Junior Championships , and the World Championships . They will also compete at elite events such as the ISU Challenger Series , the Grand Prix and Junior Grand Prix series , culminating at the Grand Prix Final .
2024–25 figure skating season Date: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Previous: 2023–24 Next: 2025–26
On June 15, 2023, the International Skating Union announced that all figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus would remain banned from attending any international competitions.[ 1]
Skaters are eligible to compete in ISU events at the junior or senior levels according to their age. These rules may not apply to non-ISU events such as national championships.
Level
Date of birth
Junior (singles) Born between July 1, 2005 & June 30, 2011
Junior (ice dance & females in pairs) Born between July 1, 2003 & June 30, 2011
Junior (males in pairs) Born between July 1, 2001 & June 30, 2011
Senior (all disciplines) Born before July 1, 2007
At the ISU Congress held in Phuket, Thailand , in June 2022, members of the ISU Council accepted a proposal to gradually increase the minimum age limit for senior competition to 17 years old beginning from the 2024–25 season. To avoid forcing skaters who had already competed in the senior category to return to juniors, the age limit remained unchanged during the 2022–23 season, before increasing to 16 years old during the 2023–24 season, and will increase to 17 years old during the 2024–25 season.[ 2]
At the ISU Congress held in Las Vegas in June 2024, members of the ISU Council accepted a proposal to raise the junior age limit for females in pairs and ice dance to 21 and to raise the junior age limit for males in pairs to 23. A maximum age gap of seven years was instituted for junior pairs and ice dance teams.
If skaters of different nationalities form a team, the ISU requires that they choose one country to represent. The date provided is the date when the change occurred or, if not available, the date when the change was announced.
