Season notes

Those who turned 14 before the given date were eligible for the senior Grand Prix series and senior B internationals; those who turned 15 before that date were also eligible for the Olympics, senior World, European, and Four Continents Championships.
Minimum scores
Grand Prix
In order to compete in the Grand Prix series, skaters are required to reach a minimum total score at an accepted ISU event.
ISU Championships
To be eligible to compete at the European, Four Continents, Junior World, or World Championships, skaters are required to achieve the following scores in a prior ISU-recognized event.
Partnership changes
Some skaters announced the dissolution of a partnership or formation of a new one. Listed are changes involving at least one partner who competed at Worlds, Europeans, Four Continents, Junior Worlds or the senior Grand Prix, or who medaled on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. The ISU does not permit teams to compete for two countries—if skaters of different nationalities team up, they must choose one country to represent.
