NHL and NHLPA Open Bidding for World Cup of Hockey 2028 – Which City Will Score the Ultimate Win?
“The World Cup of Hockey 2028 will bring together the best players in the world, representing their countries with pride,” said Marty Walsh, Executive Director of the NHLPA. “We look forward to working with cities that want to help shape the future of international hockey and inspire a new generation of hockey fans.”
This will be the fourth edition of the World Cup of Hockey, having been previously held in 1996, 2004 and 2016, which Team Canada won.
The World Cup’s return is part of an aggressive expansion of the NHL’s international calendar. Bettman has said the vision is to alternate between the NHL’s participation in the Winter Olympic men’s hockey tournament and a World Cup every two years. The NHL is participating in the 2026 Milano-Cortina Games, the first time its players will compete in the Olympics since the 2014 Sochi Games.
