Women's Curling at 2026 Winter Olympics: Updated Playoff Bracket and Team USA Schedule

Team USA's women's curling team is off to the semifinals for the first time since 2002.
The Americans clinched their berth following a Thursday morning round-robin match against Switzerland, which the U.S. won 7-6. That nail-biter of a win improved their overall record to 6-3, which actually tied them with the Canadians and the Swiss (the latter of whom had already qualified for the semis heading into Thursday's game). Sweden, meanwhile, holds the No. 1 ranking with a record of 7-2.
All four countries will now compete in the semifinals, starting Friday morning, for a chance at gold. Ironically enough for the U.S., the next stage will begin with a rematch against Switzerland. The full schedule and bracket are below:
