2026 Memorial Cup in Kelowna

The 2026 Memorial Cup will be held in Kelowna, British Columbia, hosted by the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. This will mark the second time Kelowna has hosted, the first being in 2004, when the Rockets won the Cup on home ice. The city’s Prospera Place arena will serve as the venue, offering an electric atmosphere in one of Canada’s most passionate junior hockey markets.

With Kubota Canada recently announced as the presenting sponsor, the 2026 edition is set to carry added national visibility. Fans can expect a competitive field featuring the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL champions, alongside the Rockets, who will look to leverage home-ice advantage. If Kelowna ices a strong roster this year—as many expect—they could once again be in position to contend for a championship in front of their home crowd.
