Figure Skating Championships were held January 20–26, 2025, at the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.

On January 29, 2025, three days after the competition, skaters, coaches and family members flying to Washington D.C. following the post-competition National Development Camp were on board American Airlines Flight 5342, which was involved in a mid-air collision while on approach to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, killing all aboard.

Among the passengers were Russian former figure skaters and Team USA coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who were also the parents of medalist Maxim Naumov, along with a group of young skaters from the Skating Club of Boston.

Skaters advanced by either having a bye or competing at Singles Sectionals, U.S. Pairs, or U.S. Ice Dance Finals.

After accounting for all byes, the top placements from Singles Sectionals, U.S. Pairs, or U.S. Ice Dance Finals were then used until the maximum number of competitors for each event was met.
