Qualifying
U.S. Figure Skating implemented a new qualifying structure beginning from the 2019–20 season. Competitors qualified through the National Qualifying Series, Regional and Sectional Challenges, and Sectional and U.S. Finals, held from June to November 2019, or earned a bye. The NQS is not mandatory, but the top six singles athletes in each section may earn a bye to the Sectional Singles Final, and the top three teams/couples in pairs and ice dance may earn a bye to the U.S. Final in their respective disciplines. The top four finishers at the Sectional Finals and the top twelve finishers at the U.S. Finals earned a spot at the National Figure Skating Championships.Juvenile, intermediate, and novice skaters qualified for the National High Performance Development Team and Camp in lieu of participating at U.S. Championships.
