The 2017 European Figure Skating Championships will be a senior international figure skating competition in the 2016–17 season. The competition will be held in January 2017 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.[1] Medals will be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs, and ice dancing.

Eligibility

Skaters are eligible for the event if they are representing a European member nation of the International Skating Union and have reached the age of 15 before July 1, 2016, in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters is the 2017 Four Continents Championships. National associations select their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandates that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.
