Medals will be awarded in men's singles, women's singles , pair skating , and ice dance . Skaters will earn points based on their placements at each event and the top six in each discipline will qualify to compete at the Grand Prix Final in Grenoble, France . The corresponding series for junior-level skaters will be the 2024–25 ISU Junior Grand Prix .
The Grand Prix Final was originally to be held in Orléans, France , but the French Federation of Ice Sports chose to relocate the event to Grenoble .[ 1] This series will include the following events.
Skaters will be eligible to compete on the senior Grand Prix circuit if they reach the age of 17 before July 1, 2024. They will also be required to have earned a minimum total score at certain international events.

There were originally seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points:
Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events.
Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another.
Participated in two events.
Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events.
Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event.
Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events.
Highest number of total participants at the events.
If a tie remained, it was considered unbreakable, and the tied skaters all advanced to the Grand Prix Final.
