Canada FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Qualifying: Schedule, Results & Roster.
March 17, 2026, Canada was officially eliminated from the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup after an 82–76 loss to Australia in their final qualifying match in Istanbul.
Canada is competing in the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Qualifying Tournament in Istanbul, Türkiye (March 11–17, 2026). This is a single-location qualifying event (Group A) with six teams: Canada, Türkiye (host), Hungary, Argentina, Australia, and Japan. The top three teams from the tournament qualify for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup (Berlin, Germany, September 2026). Canada entered ranked 7th globally.
Canada currently holding 2-2 in group
A win against Australia would almost certainly guarantee their spot in Berlin, but if they lose, they’ll be sweating the results of the Japan vs. Türkiye game to see if they hold onto a qualifying position via tiebreakers.
Would you like the tip-off time for the Australia game or a look at how the tiebreaker scenarios might play out if Canada finishes 2–3?
