ZURICH (AP) — The 2026 women’s hockey world championship will take place in November in Denmark, the sport's governing body announced Friday. The shift from spring to fall beginning next year comes after the International Ice Hockey Federation was in talks with the Professional Women’s Hockey League about scheduling. The PWHL is beginning its third season on Nov. 21, with play through April 25 and the playoffs to follow.
