Qualification

Main article: Figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics – Qualification

A total of 142 quota spots are available to athletes to compete at the games. A maximum of 18 athletes can be entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC), with a maximum of 9 men or 9 women. There is also an "Additional Athletes Quota" which allows up to a maximum of 5 more total skaters, bringing the potential total to 147. The host (Italy) is the priority for these additional places so that if they have met minimum standards they may have an entry in each event, other than the team event. If unused, these five quotas can be used to qualify nations for the team event if they only need an entry in one more discipline. ^[3]

Quota spots were awarded to NOCs based on placements at the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships and the ISU Skate to Milano qualifier. ^[2]

Uzbekistan originally qualified a quota spot for the pairs event after pairs team Ekaterina Geynish and Dmitrii Chigirev placed 10th at the 2025 World Championships. ^[46] However, following the pair's split in 2025, Uzbekistan failed to submit a team who met eligibility requirements, and so the spot was awarded to Team France as the first alternate. ^[47]
