The 2026 European Speed Skating Championships took place from 9 to 11 January 2026, at the Ice Arena in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland.
Damian Zurek of Poland and Ragne Wiklund from Norway won two individual gold medals each.
The proximity of the 2026 Winter Olympics affected the list of participants. The Netherlands was mostly represented by skaters who are not in the Olympic selection. Germany would make a final selection based on performance at the European Championships. The final entry list had 121 competitors from 19 nations.
Schedule
