STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 23, 2024 – Reigning World and U.S. men’s singles champion Ilia Malinin headlines NBC Sports’ coverage of 2024 Skate Canada this weekend, starting Friday, Oct. 25, at 5 p.m. ET live on Peacock from Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Canada.

The entire competition, including every skater in every discipline, streams live on Peacock. A complete schedule of this week’s events is below.

Three reigning world champions will be in action this weekend, including Malinin, who won last week’s 2024 Skate America men’s singles title. Malinin set the world record for highest free skate score at the 2024 World Championships in March and became the first athlete to land a quad Axel in a short program at the 2023 Grand Prix Final. 2022 Beijing Olympic bronze medalist Kaori Sakamoto of Japan headlines the women’s event, while 2022 World bronze medalist Alysa Liu makes her return to the Grand Prix Series. Liu, a two-time U.S. champion and Beijing Olympian, retired in April 2022 before announcing her comeback to competitive figure skating last spring.

For Sunday’s coverage live on NBC and simulstreamed on Peacock, Terry Gannon handles play-by-play, joined by 1998 Nagano Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski and three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir.
