Alysa Liu to close Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics 2026 figure skating gala: When and where to watch spectacle ft. stars like Amber Glenn

The Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics are nearing their end. Figure skating fans will now get one final show. The traditional Exhibition Gala will take place on Saturday night. It brings together medalists and top performers from every discipline. Athletes from men’s and women’s singles, pairs, and ice dance will skate once again. This time the focus is not on judges or scores. The event is meant to celebrate the sport and entertain the audience.

After two intense weeks of competition, the skaters will perform relaxed routines. They can use props, costumes, or even invite friends onto the ice. The organizing committee selects participants, but every medalist automatically receives an invitation. Some team event skaters are also included. The glamorous program is scheduled from 20:00 to 22:30 CET on February 21, 2026. Fans around the world are expected to tune in for a colorful farewell to the Games.
