Some of figure skating’s most notable performers will return to the ice for an Olympic performance unlike anything seen so far in the Games.
Figure skating’s Exhibition Gala lineup, which includes stars like Alysa Liu, Ilia Malinin, Amber Glenn, Madison Chock and Evan Bates and more, has officially been announced for the 2026 Winter Olympics Exhibition Gala.
“For one unforgettable evening, many of the world’s finest skaters will return to perform for a packed house and before a worldwide broadcast audience,” the International Skating Union revealed Friday.

Considered one of figure skating’s “most cherished traditions,” the gala, takes place on Saturday, bringing a string of performances that are no longer about medals and scores.
It’s a night that features “original costumes, breathtaking choreography, and incredible performances.”
“The exhibition gala is an opportunity for skaters to go out and perform a program that is not judged. All of the rules and regulations that apply in competition do not apply in the exhibition gala, so you can go skate for as long or as little as you want, to whatever music you want, to whatever costume you want, and it’s even more free than it is in competition because a lot of skaters will do something super random and funny and fun,” Olympian Mariah Bell said.
Liu has already foreshadowed her performance, saying she will “have a new program to Stateside by Pink Panthers and Zahra Larson, the remix.”
“And I’ll have a new dress and I’m going to perform once again on the big stage,” she said.
The event is set to take place from 1-3:30 p.m. CT Saturday. Here’s a look at the lineup of performers:
Who is performing?
According to Bell, the organizing committee decides who skates in the gala, though any medalist from earlier in the Games is automatically invited.
“There are additional skaters, maybe up to like the top five or six that can be invited,” Bell said. “Also, any standout performers that maybe didn’t have the best competition but are really loved by people and have a really great performance quality can be invited to perform. Additionally, anyone who represents the host country that that event is being held in.”
