This market will resolve according to the team that wins the 2026 IIHF World Championship hockey tournament. If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed team to win the 2026 IIHF World Championship per the rules of the tournament (e.g. they are eliminated in the knockout stages), the corresponding market will resolve to “No”. If the 2026 IIHF World Championship is cancelled, postponed after June 14, 2026, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the IIHF World Championship tournament organizers (https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2026/wm); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The 2026 IIHF World Championship kicks off May 15 in Zurich and Fribourg, Switzerland, with trader consensus leaning toward Canada as the top contender to win gold, driven by a deep NHL-laden roster including Sidney Crosby, rookie sensation Macklin Celebrini, Mathew Barzal, and Dylan Cozens—finalized amid recent playoff eliminations freeing key talent. Host Switzerland benefits from home-ice advantage in Group A against USA (defending champions), Finland (led by Aleksander Barkov), Germany, and others, while Group B features Canada facing Sweden, Czechia, and Denmark in the preliminary round-robin. Goaltending strength, power play execution, and top-four advancement will shape quarterfinals, semifinals, and the May 31 gold medal game, with no major injuries reported.
