The Silver Ball is the world's fastest speed skating show and will take place for the tenth time on Wednesday evening, March 11, 2026, in the Elfstedenhal in Leeuwarden. With the best international sprinters at the start, exciting 100-meter races, and a spectacular show, it promises to be a fantastic evening.

Each time, three absolute top athletes compete against each other for a place in the next round. Ultimately, the three fastest women and men remain. During the races, the audience stands right up against the barriers and feels the ice splashing at the start!

Janning de Boo, Laurent Dubreuil (CAN), Marek Kania (POL), Stefan Westenbroek, defending champions Dione Voskamp, and Jim Dhore were among those at the start last year.

Femke Kok and Yevgeniy Koshkin won the Silver Ball 2025.
