Full Women's 2026 Olympics Hockey Tournament Schedule, Updated Results and Standings

The 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan Cortina, Italy, will take place in February, with the hockey tournaments scheduled to start at different dates for the men's and women's competitions.

For the women, the hockey tournament starts on Feb. 5 and lasts until Feb. 19. The women will kick off the hockey portion of the tournament, with Canada and the United States the clear-cut favorites among those in the field.

That said, this is expected to be the most competitive Olympic women's hockey tournament to date, even more so with the steady ascension of the PWHL and their many representatives present in Italy — 23 in Canada's roster, 16 for the U.S., and 22 across all six European nations.
