The IIHF World Women's Ice Hockey Championship will be contested 6th November through 16th November 2026. The Participating countries are Austria, Czechia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, USA.
Once the final four have been determined, I will add two more countries. There will be an effort to allow live trading, so if you are not watching, canceling limit orders before the game starts should be considered.
My M25 NO Other position is a USA-or-Canada championship thesis, not a bet on answer-addition mechanics. IIHF records Canada with 13 golds and USA with 11: together, all 24 completed Women’s Worlds. That makes the initial one-third weight on the field look high to me, although the new balanced-group format and post-Olympic roster/coaching changes leave genuine upset risk.
