Posted today - the Hungarian Federation has withdrawn from hosting 2024 Europeans. No substitute yet named.

After reviewing the applications, the ISU Council, during its meeting last week, provisionally awarded the 2024 European Championships to the Lithuanian Federation: https://www.isu.org/isu-news/news/145-n ... teParam=15

Season 2023/24:

Figure Skating

* ISU European Figure Skating Championships 2024, Kaunas (LTU) January 8-14, 2024

Two other skating championship events were also provisionally awarded:

Season 2024/25:

Synchronized Skating

* ISU World Junior Synchronized Skating Championships 2025, Gothenburg (SWE) March 7-8, 2025

Season 2025/26:

Figure Skating

* ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships 2026, Beijing (CHN) January 19-24, 2026


Aside from providing dates and locations for some Short Track events in the two following seasons, "The ISU Council decided to postpone the provisional allotment of other ISU Events and extend the application period for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 Championships that remain pending. The full Calendar of ISU Events is available here: https://www.isu.org/events"

The new assignment of the European Championships means that it will coincide with the Canadian Championships in Calgary, I believe.

The ISU Championship events for the 2023-24 season


On a related topic, the ISU has issued the minimum technical scores required to qualify for their championship events (short program/rhythm dance; free skate/free dance):

The latest press release regarding decisions from the ISU Council meeting: https://www.isu.org/isu-news/news/65-is ... teParam=15
It provides more details about the minimum technical scores alluded to above.
There is also some information about a couple of additional event allocations in figure skating.
Note the removal of the requirement for "extras" related to future Junior World Championships.
