There wasn’t a women’s championship in the same calendar year as a Winter Games until 2022 .

The 2026 tournament will be held in April two months after the Olympic Games conclude in Milan - Cortina , Italy .

Canada will host the 2027 edition, but almost became the 2026 host when Germany expressed interest in holding both the men's and women's championships in 2027 .

The women’s championship reverts to “snake” seeding in each of the two pools in 2026 .

Teams will be seeded based on rankings at the previous year's championship with 1,4,5,8,9 in one pool and 2,3,6,7 in the other.

The IIHF began seeding the world's top countries in the same pool after 2012 .
