USA Hockey has officially announced the 25-player roster that will represent the United States at the 2026 IIHF women's World Championships beginning November 6 in Denmark.

“Following an exciting week of camp, we’re thrilled to announce the 25 players who will represent Team USA at the 2026 IIHF Women’s World Championship,” said Katie Million general manager of Team USA and senior director of women’s national team programs for USA Hockey.

“With so much talent in our player pool, these decisions are never easy. We’re confident in the group we’ve selected and are excited to head to Denmark in pursuit of another gold medal for the U.S.”

“The team we’ve selected is incredibly talented and brings a level of skill that will be just as much fun to watch as it will be to coach,” said USA's head coach John Wroblewski. “We’re looking forward to getting to Denmark and competing for our ultimate goal, a gold medal.”
