The World Synchronized Skating Championships are an annual synchronized skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU). The first World Championships were held in 2000 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States; Team Surprise of Sweden were the winners. They have been held every year since, except for 2020 and 2021, when they were cancelled on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the 2024 World Championships, Les Suprêmes of Canada made history when they became the first synchronized skating team to win three consecutive World Championships.

Until 2012, the top positions were mainly dominated by Sweden and Finland: the Swedish Team Surprise have won six World titles (latest in 2012), five silver medals and one bronze medal, and the Finnish Marigold IceUnity are five-time World Champions with seven silver medals and two bronze medals. Also from Finland, Helsinki Rockettes have earned four World titles, four silver medals and six bronze medals, and Team Unique have won one World title, two silver medals and one bronze medal.
