The current plan for the group stage of the 2026 Olympic ice hockey tournament would see Switzerland play versus Canada, Sweden, and host Italy.

Finland, Germany, Czechia, and a country from the qualifying round form the second group, while the US, two yet-to-qualify nations, and Russia - depending on whether they would be allowed to participate - make up the third one.
