Welcome to a brand-new season of Battle of the Blades! We are so happy to bring the show back in 2020, though dedicated fans will notice a few changes. 

A shorter voting window 

Voting opens on Thursday evenings once all skaters have performed (ET) and closes on Fridays at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT. 

Audiences can vote for until 3am EST/midnight PST only!

This year, make sure to vote for your favourite pairs on show night only! The public vote will help keep skaters safe from elimination (and one step closer to winning $100,000 for the charity of their choice!). 

The total public vote will be combined with the judges' scores and the bottom two pairs will compete in an elimination Skate-Off to see who goes home — and who gets to stay. 

Voting open in Canada only

Sorry international fans, you won't be able to vote this year (but you can always watch performances on our site or on YouTube!).
