2014–15 figure skating season explained

The 2014–15 figure skating season began on July 1, 2014, and ended on June 30, 2015. During this season, elite skaters competed at the 2015 European Championships, Four Continents Championships, World Junior Championships, and World Championships. They also competed at elite events such as the Grand Prix series and Junior Grand Prix series, culminating at the Grand Prix Final, and the inaugural Challenger Series.

Beginning with this season, singles and pairs skaters were allowed to use music with lyrics in competition. Previously, they were restricted to instrumental music, including vocals without words. Additionally, the Challenger Series, a series of senior international competitions below the Grand Prix series, was introduced this season.

Age eligibility

Beginning with this season, the minimum age for senior events increased from 14 to 15 to match the minimum age for International Skating Union (ISU) Championship events. Skaters competing at the junior level were required to be at least 13 years of age before July 1, 2014. Those who turned 15 before that date were also eligible for all senior-level events. These rules may not have applied to non-ISU events such as national championships.

Level	Date of birth
Junior	Born before July 1, 1995 & June 30, 2000
Junior	Born before July 1, 1993 & June 30, 2000
Senior	Born before July 1, 1999

Changes

If skaters of different nationalities formed a team, the ISU required that they choose one country to represent. The date provided is the date when the change occurred or, if not available, the date when the change was announced.
