The Ukrainian hockey team next year will perform in the IA division.

The team will play against France, Kazakhstan, Poland, Japan and Lithuania.

The French and Kazakhs flew out of the elite division, and the Lithuanians rose from the IB division.

The International Hockey Federation has not yet decided on the venue of the World Cup 2026 in the IA division.

At the 2025 World Cup, the Ukrainian national team was close to exit to the elite from the IA division, but lost to the Japanese team (2: 3) in the decisive match and finished in third place.
