The World Women's Curling Championships are back, bringing 13 teams from around the globe together in Alberta for more than a week of competition.
Canada and Switzerland have faced off in the gold medal game the last two years and enter as the favourites once again despite sending different teams to the 2026 competition. One or the other of the two nations has won every world championship since 2014.
The home hopes for gold this time around rest on Kerri Einarson, who took bronze in 2022 and 2023 and earned her way back to Worlds by taking her fifth Scotties win earlier this year.
Will she give Canada a third consecutive gold at Worlds? Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 World Women's Curling Championships, including the full schedule for this year's event.
