Review of Peacock TV And Figure Skating

It's here! The start of the Figure Skating season and watching could not be easier with its' broadcast on Peacock TV. If you are a fan of watching/streaming figure skating Peacock TV streaming service is the place to be to watch every event of the major competitions. 

Cost of Peacock

A subscription to Peacock TV with ads is currently $7.99 a month. The premium and premium plus are upgrades available for an upgraded cost of course. NBC is the supplier for Peacock TV so if a show is a product of NBC, the shows will be streamed or on demand replay.

Which Competitions Will Be Broadcast On Peacock?

All the major figure skating competitions will be televised and streamed. Over 300 hours of figure skating on NBC and Peacock will be broadcast.

The Grand Prix series which has competitions throughout the world, the European Championships, Four Continents, Worlds and Olympics will all be televised with on demand replay opportunities.

U.S. Figure Skating Championships

Mark January 6- 11th 2026 on your viewing calendar for the United States Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis. The top United States figure skaters will be competing and look for the announcement January 11th of the U.S. team for the quickly approaching Olympics.

2026 Olympics 

Yes! Peacock TV is the place to watch the Olympics being held in Milan, February 6 - 26, 2026.

World Championships

The Olympics do not conclude the figure skating season! The World Championships will be held March 25-29 in Prague and will be streamed on Peacock.

Recommendation

I highly recommend Peacock TV as a cost efficient manner to disengage from the monthly internet package in general, but if you are a niche figure skating fan then peacock is the place to be in an Olympic year.  Fans of NBC programming will enjoy all their favorites. Commercials are included on the basic package, but I did not find the breaks overly disruptive particularly when comparing the cost benefit of keeping the least expensive plan to higher level plans.

The app is mediocre and could be greatly improved, but functional on a basic level. Programming is sorted by tabs and is generally easy to find with a few clicks.

Ready Made Figure Skating Dresses & Skirts

Having spent over ten years training as a Figure Skater, the dresses played a significant role.

In the 1970s, I never recall shopping for figure skating dresses; I was fortunate to have a mom who could sew dresses for me. What I enjoyed most was being able to design my own dress styles, and then Mom would simply create a pattern based on that design. Thanks to Mom, I sure had some gorgeous dresses.

Nowadays, many moms are too busy to sew their daughter's figure skating dresses, so they'll either have them made by a seamstress or purchase them from a local figure skating store, other skaters, or online.

It's actually quite affordable to select a figure skating dress from Amazon. If you have to take it to a seamstress for adjustments, you can still do that. However, if the skater has a fairly typical body frame, the dress will likely fit just fine.

You'll notice the online selection is quite vast, and most dresses come in alternate color choices and various size options.

How About the Figure Skating Skirt?

Have you ever felt that you invented a new idea? I remember in the 1970s arriving at my Figure Skating Club wearing the first-ever Figure Skating Skirt. Nobody had one or knew what it was.  

Since I had always worn a different style top over my dresses during practice, just the skirt would be seen. 

So one day, I asked Mom, 'Let's not sew a full dress; let's just do the skirt portion - we'll cut it off at the waist.' That way, I can wear any top I want with it during practice, changing it daily as I always did.

So there I was, showing off what I believed was my invention in our skating club...after that, other club members started having them made! Of course, today, they're quite common. I often wonder, did I invent this idea?

Of course, you can easily find Figure Skating Skirts at Amazon.

So go ahead and research those pre-made dresses before you decide to go to the expense of having them made. But for competition, we always love custom-made dresses.
