The announcement marks the second time that TD Garden has been selected to host the ISU World Figure Skating Championships, and the 14th time that U.S. Figure Skating will organize the Championships (1930, 1957, 1959, 1965, 1969, 1975, 1981, 1987, 1992, 1998, 2003, 2009, 2016, 2025).

Boston most recently hosted the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2016 at TD Garden, where athletes from across the globe performed in front of sold-out crowds with over 108,000 total fans in attendance. Next weekend, the Greater Boston area will host Skate America – the opener for the 2022-23 ISU Grand Prix season – at The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts, Oct. 21-23.

“We had one of the most successful World Championships back in 2016 in Boston, so we’re even more optimistic for the growth and success we can bring to the event in 2025,” said Doug Zeghibe, Executive Director for The Skating Club of Boston and the local organizing committee for the 2025 Championships. “Boston is a figure skating town with sophisticated and passionate fans who not only love to follow the sport but truly appreciate the work these skaters put in year after year. We are thrilled to support U.S. Figure Skating as the local host for the event, and to help welcome the world back to Boston."

“It is so exciting to have the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2025 return to the United States, and we are thrilled to host these amazing athletes and competition here in Boston at TD Garden,” said Amy Latimer, President of TD Garden. “We last hosted this sold-out championship in 2016 and are proud to continue to be a desired destination for national and international events. The Hub on Causeway is now complete and perfectly poised to host this international event for the second time in less than 10 years. We are proud to work with the Commonwealth, the City of Boston and The Skating Club of Boston to bring this great event to town and provide an economic boost for the region.”

The ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2025 will serve as a key pre-2026 Olympic Winter Games event as the number of entries countries will receive in each discipline at the Games will be determined in Boston. Hailed as figure skating's most prestigious annual event, the World Figure Skating Championships first began in 1896 and has continued annually to bring together the best figure skaters from across the globe to compete for the title of World Champion.
