We Made the Decision — Season 2026–2027 Is On
Before anything else: THANK YOU. Thank you to everyone: Pledgers, Sponsors, Clubs, and Viewers, who told us this was worth fighting for.
I want to specially mention clubs The Bossche Kunstrijvereniging BKV and Kunstrijvereniging De Drechtsteden Dordrecht DDD who have given us, and with that you, special support making our work possible.
We’ve made our decision. We’ve bitten the bullet, stuck our neck out, and we’re moving into this next chapter together: the 2026–2027 season of KNSB-Cup A and B livestreams is happening, starting October 10th.
Your (and our) Heroes this Season

KNSB-Cup A1 Is Free for All — But We’re Not in the Clear Yet
KNSB-Cup A1 will be free to watch for everyone, and that’s not on us, that’s on BKV. They’ve committed to paying us directly so this first stream costs nothing to watch. You might still have to go through the same sign-in as any other event, we may need to keep that paywall in place but charge € 0,00 (confirmation will follow). For this KNSB-Cup A1, the price will simply be €0,00.
Every other KNSB-Cup event, the rest of Cup A, all of Cup B, and the Cup A finale weekend, stays behind the paywall, exactly as laid out below.
Here’s the honest picture: going ahead with the season doesn’t mean the financial question is settled. We still have a substantial gap in our budget, and we believe in this community to help pull us through it over the course of the season. That means we’ll keep asking, event after event, for more of you to choose a subscription over paying one event at a time. If you’re new here, especially parents just joining us with a skater starting out in the sport: a season pass genuinely is the sensible choice. Per event, it works out cheaper than buying individual day tickets one by one, and it means you’re set for the whole season without thinking about it again.
Season passes remain on sale through October 31st, 2026. After that date we’ll switch to single-event tickets only — by November, KNSB-Cup A2 and B2 are so close and after that there will only be one more regular competition day plus the finale weekend, at which point a full-season pass stops being good value and we’d rather be upfront about that than sell you one.
We want to keep this simple. You will still be able to choose between a season pass or paying per event, whichever suits you best.
- Season pass: covers every streaming day and event of a full Cup (A or B), at the best price per event.
- Combined pass: covers both Cup A and Cup B together, at a discount versus buying them separately.
- Finale add-on: the Cup A finale weekend can be added on top of your season pass. (The Cup B Finale is not being offered this season — see note below.)
- Single ticket: prefer to pay as you go? A per-event ticket is available for any individual streaming day, at a slightly higher price than the season-pass equivalent.
Here is what we offer (all prices include VAT) compensated for KNSB-Cup A1 now being free for all.:
- Cup A season pass: €15,95 (+ €4,50 for the Cup A finale)
- Cup B season pass: €19,95 (full season; no Cup B finale this season — see note below), after KNSB-Cup B1 this will reduce to € 15,95
- Cup A + Cup B combined season pass: €30,00 (+ €4,00 for the Cup A finale), after KNSB-Cup B1 this will reduce to
€ 26,00 - Single-event day ticket: €4,50
Please note: KNSB-Cup B’s Finale weekend collides with the Coupe du Printemps in Luxembourg, which we committed to stream previously, so we will not be able to offer the KNSB-Cup B Finals option this season. All Cup B and combined passes cover the full season; where a Finale is included, it’s the Cup A Finale only.
What Happens Next, If You Pledged
If you already pledged your support: Thank you, again, that’s exactly what got us here. Here’s what happens now, in short:
- You’ll receive a payment link by email for the package you pledged, corrected for KNSB-Cup A1 being free for all where relevant.
- Once your payment is confirmed, you’ll get a follow-up email with your personal voucher and full step-by-step instructions for activating it. You won’t need this for KNSB-Cup A1, this will be free for all.
We’re keeping this page high-level on purpose, the follow-up email will walk you through the activation process in detail, screenshots included, so you’re never guessing. If you pledged and haven’t heard from us yet, hang tight; we’re working through the list.
Help Us Plan Next Season
If you’ve bought a pass or ticket this season, thank you for actually putting your money where your mouth is. Second, we’d love your help with something.
Before we commit to licenses, equipment, and everything else that goes into running another season, we want to know: Would you consider a subscription again next season? Complete the short poll following the button link below, It takes two minutes and genuinely shapes what we can commit to.
Thank you for reading this far, and for everything you’ve already given this small corner of Dutch figure skating. We’re doing this because we love the sport and the people around it, and because of you, we get to keep doing it a little longer.
