United States are set to return at the Women’s FIH Hockey World Cup 2026, as the one-time World Cup and Summer Olympics bronze medalists are eyeing to create history in Belgium and the Netherlands. For the World Cup 2026, the United States’ complete squad was announced on 11th July 2026.
The United States have qualified for the Women’s FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 after finishing as runners-up in the 2025 Pan American Cup. As Argentina won that tournament, who already advanced to the World Cup thanks to their runners-up finish in the 2024–25 FIH Pro League, the United States have fixed their place for the World Cup 2026.
