The 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts begins Friday in Mississauga, Ontario, featuring an open field without defending champion Rachel Homan, who advances to the Olympics after winning the Canadian Curling Trials. Teams like British Columbia's rookie squad led by Taylor Reese-Hansen and the Northwest Territories' youthful rink with three teenagers highlight the competition. Four-time champion Kerri Einarson enters as a favorite in the women's national curling championship running through February 1.
Top Canadian female curlers have convened in Mississauga for the 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the nation's premier women's curling event.
