The series hosts six stops: United  States (Skate America), Canada (Skate Canada International), Russia  (Rostelecom Cup), France (Internationaux de France), China (Cup of China),  and Japan (NHK Trophy). Skaters are awarded points based on their placements  at their assigned events and the top six in each of the four disciplines  advance to the final. 

The  event will also include the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final  2018/19. The world’s top junior skaters also collect points to qualify,  through seven events which change location yearly. The top six in men’s,  ladies, pair and ice dance, based on the results of the Junior Grand Prix  series, advance to the Junior Final.

In  total, there will be 48 entries and 72 skaters taking part in the competition  in both senior and junior.
