STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 12, 2025 – Reigning world figure skating champions Alysa Liu (women’s singles) and Madison Chock and Evan Bates (ice dance) from the United States headline NBC Sports’ presentation of 2025 Saatva Skate America this weekend. Coverage begins Friday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. ET live on E! and Peacock from the Lake Placid Olympic Center’s 1980 Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, New York.
The entire competition, including every skater in every discipline, streams live on Peacock. In addition to competition coverage, Peacock will stream the Saatva Skate America Practice Cam live starting tomorrow Thursday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m. ET, and continuing throughout the weekend. A complete schedule of this week’s coverage is below.
Liu won her first U.S. title at age 13 in 2019, becoming the youngest U.S. women’s champion. She won a second U.S. title in 2020.
Additionally, the 2022 Beijing Olympic team gold medal ice dancing duo of Chock and Bates look to win their fifth overall Skate America title, which would tie the record for most Skate America golds in ice dance with Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto.
For all coverage on NBC and E! (which is 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. 2022 Beijing Olympic ice dance gold medalist Gabriella Papadakis will serve as an analyst on ice dance coverage, and Andrea Joyce will serve as reporter.
Traditionally the first stop in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, Saatva Skate America will be the fifth of six stops this season. The inaugural Skate America was held in Lake Placid in 1979, marking the sixth time since and first time back in Lake Placid since 2017. This is also the third time Skate America will take place in Lake Placid in an Olympic season.
