The 2023 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships were held January 23–29, 2023, at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.[1] Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels. The results were part of the U.S. selection criteria for the 2023 World Championships, 2023 World Junior Championships, the 2023 Four Continents Championship, and the 2023 World Team Trophy.
San Jose was originally scheduled to host the 2021 event,[2] but it was relocated to Las Vegas. San Jose was then awarded the 2023 Championships instead. It was the fourth time the city hosted the event.[3]
