The 2026 World Junior Figure Skating Championships will be held from 3 to 8 March, 2026, at the Tondiraba Ice Hall in Tallinn, Estonia. The competition will determine the entry quotas for each skating federation at the 2027 World Junior Championships. Medals will be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance.
