This landmark event marks the first time in over a decade that the European Championships will be held in the UK and serves as the final major competition before the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games. The competition will also feature the largest-ever UK team at a major international event, building on the incredible success of British skaters in recent years - most notably ice dancers Lewis Gibson and Lilah Fear, whose latest achievements have included a medal win at the last European Championships and the UK’s first ever podium finish at an ISU Grand Prix Final.
Sheffield’s Utilita Arena, renowned for hosting major sporting and entertainment events, will provide a spectacular stage for this world-class competition. Its modern facilities and capacity for large audiences make it the perfect setting for an event of this scale. Sheffield itself is a city rich with culture and sporting heritage, offering visitors a unique experience both on and off the ice.
