The 2026 Farm & Food Care Ontario Women's Curling Championship , the provincial women's curling championship for Southern Ontario, will be held from January 4 to 11 at Woolwich Memorial Centre in Elmira, Ontario. The winning rink will represent Ontario at the 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship in Mississauga, Ontario as the host team. [1] Despite the event being held in an Olympic year, it will still be held in conjunction with the 2026 Ontario Tankard, the provincial men's curling championship.

Qualification process

Twelve teams will qualify for the 2026 Ontario Women's Championship. The top eight southern Ontario teams on the Canada Team Ranking System (CTRS) as of December 1, 2025 qualified, as well as four teams from an open qualifier. [2]

The number one ranked team in Canada according to the CTRS, Rachel Homan will represent Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics after winning the 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. Homan's rink would have represented Team Canada at the 2026 Scotties as they won the 2025 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and would have bypassed provincials. However, due to qualifying for the Olympics, they will not be competing at the 2026 Scotties.
