Quebec City to Host 2027 Women's World Hockey Championship and Co-Host 2029 World Junior Hockey Championship

Quebec City has been selected to host the 2027 women's world hockey championship and will also co-host the 2029 world junior hockey championship with Trois-Rivières, Que. The women's championship will primarily take place at the 18,000-seat Videotron Centre in Quebec City, marking the first time the city will host this prestigious event. The last women's world championship in Canada was held in Brampton, Ont., in 2023.

The upcoming world junior hockey championship will see Quebec City and Trois-Rivières share hosting duties for the annual holiday-season tournament. Quebec City previously co-hosted the world juniors with Montreal in 1978. The host cities for the 2026 tournament are set to be announced during the IIHF semi-annual congress on October 3-4.

Following the 2026 tournament in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minn., the 2027 edition of the world juniors will be held in Alberta, with specific host cities yet to be named. The championship will then move to Finland in 2028. The upcoming hockey championships promise to bring exciting competition and showcase top talent from around the world.

In conclusion, Quebec City's selection as the host for the 2027 women's world hockey championship and co-host for the 2029 world junior hockey championship highlights the city's rich hockey tradition and passion for the sport. These prestigious events will provide an opportunity for fans to witness top-level competition and celebrate the spirit of hockey on an international stage.
