The broadcasting of this year’s Women’s Hockey World Championship will be available on TV via NHL Network in the United States and TSN in Canada. For those without cable, various online platforms offer options to watch the games live.
Historically, Canada and the U.S. have been the dominant forces in women’s hockey, with Canada claiming an impressive 13 championship titles and the USA holding 10. Finland and Sweden are also in contention, with both nations expected to perform strongly for the bronze medal.
This year’s tournament unfolds against a backdrop of increasing tensions between Canada and the United States, particularly following President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Canadian imports. This contentious climate recently attracted a significant viewership to the 4 Nations Face-Off men’s hockey tournament, which saw Canada triumph over the U.S. with a close score of 3-2. The IIHF is undoubtedly aiming for a similar surge in interest and ratings for the women’s event.
