The 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship, will be held from January 23 to February 1 at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.[1][2] The winning team will represent Canada at the 2026 World Women's Curling Championship at the Markin MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta.[3]

Defending champion Rachel Homan decided to withdraw from the event due to qualifying for the 2026 Winter Olympics. As a result, Kerri Einarson, who finished as runner-up in the 2025 tournament, would become Team Canada for the event.[4]

Teams

A total of eighteen teams will qualify for the 2026 Scotties. The fourteen Canadian curling member associations will hold playdowns to determine who will represent their province or territory. Team Canada is represented by Team Kerri Einarson, who replaces Team Rachel Homan following their victory at the 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.[4]

In a continuation of the 2025 qualifying format, the final three teams in the field pre-qualified for the 2026 Scotties based on their 2024–25 Canadian Team Ranking Standings, which meant they bypassed the provincial qualifiers. These spots initially went to Teams Kerri Einarson, Kayla Skrlik and Christina Black.[5] However, with Team Einarson becoming Team Canada, the third CTRS spot was determined by the highest ranked non-qualified team following the completion of all provincial and territorial championships.[4]
