The 11th day of the group stage of the 2026 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship has concluded. The results have determined two more playoff participants, as well as the second team to be relegated from the elite division.
The 11th matchday of the 2026 World Cup began with two parallel matches: the Czech Republic vs. Norway and the USA vs. Hungary. The Norwegians won the 2024 World Cup champions 4-1, thus guaranteeing themselves a place in the World Cup playoffs for the first time in 14 years. In Group A, the USA defeated Hungary 7-3 – with eight points from one round to go, the Americans still have a chance of making the playoffs.
