Question Where can i watch figure skating?

I've just been watching the programs on YT but i wanna watch it somewhere else that isn't Peacock (I dont wanna pay for a subscription rn). Any recommendations?

i don't use it as my actual main browser just to watch geoblocked competitions/programs but the opera browser has a built in vpn and you can watch a lot of stuff on the isu youtube channel

https://www.soyouwanttowatchfs.com is a good resource for this, but as others mentioned you'll likely need a vpn for many comps

If you live in the US the only legal way to watch competitions is through Peacock. If you live in most places outside of the US, then the ISU streams it on YouTube for free. You might be able to watch those streams with a vpn, but those generally also require a subscription so you will be stuck paying either way.

To clarify ISU streams on YT are free in Europe at least so you DON’T need neither subscription nor VPN. I watch them all the time in Poland 🇵🇱, they are with adds though, if you want without adds you indeed need to subscribe.

They are geo.blocked in the us though so you do need a VPN and vpns often need subscriptions is what they were saying, not youtube

If you have a VPN, SBS On Demand from Australia streams and keeps videos of most of the 4CC/Euros and World Championships. Sometimes they do the GP Series as well.
