Capsule Look at 13 Countries Competing in 2026 Women's World Curling Championship
Team Canada, led by Kerri Einarson, aims to continue their recent world success as they compete in a 13-country event with 19 Canadian world titles historically.
- Saturday, Kerri Einarson's rink opens the 13-country BKT Women's World Curling Championship at Calgary's Markin MacPhail Centre against Sweden.
- Einarson seeks to keep the world title in Canada after back-to-back gold medals by Rachel Homan's teams and earned their berth by winning the Scotties Tournament of Hearts on Feb. 1, 2026; a longer break earlier this year allowed extensive practice.
- Einarson said the rink arrived early and practised, and Sweeting stated, 'We just want to position ourselves well through the round robin and then take playoffs as they come,' emphasizing team preparation and familiarity.
- Over the next eight days the tournament will decide a champion in Calgary, with Curling Canada expecting roughly $11 million and more than 5,000 festival participants at WinSport Event Centre.
- This edition precedes a format change in 2027, when the fields will expand to 18 teams and two pools of nine, with Canada having won 19 women's world golds since 1979.
