The 2014–15 figure skating season begins on July 1, 2014, and ends on June 30, 2015. During this season, elite skaters will compete on the ISU Championship level at the 2015 European, Four Continents, World Junior, and World Championships. Other elite events include the Grand Prix series and Junior Grand Prix series, culminating in the Grand Prix Final, and the inaugural ISU Challenger Series.
Beginning in the 2014–15 season, the age minimum for senior Grand Prix and senior B events increased from 14 to 15 to match the minimum age for ISU Championship events. Another rule change allows single and pair skaters to use music with lyrics in competition. Previously, they were restricted to instrumental music, including vocals without words. The ISU Challenger Series, a series of senior internationals below the Grand Prix series, was introduced.
Skaters competing on the junior level are required to be at least 13, before July 1, 2014. Those who turn 15 before that date are also eligible for all senior-level events.
Some skaters announced the dissolution of a partnership or formation of a new one. Listed are changes involving at least one partner who competed at Worlds, Europeans, Four Continents, Junior Worlds or the senior Grand Prix, or who medaled on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. The ISU does not permit teams to compete for two countries—if skaters of different nationalities team up, they must choose one country to represent.
