The 2027 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships will be the 30th such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Teams participate at several levels of competition based on their 2026 results. The competition will also serve as qualifications for division placements in the 2028 edition. It is also marks a change in the IIHF women's calendar, with the tournaments being moved from April to November.
As in 2026, Russia will not be allowed to enter, as they remain suspended by the IIHF due to the countries' invasion of Ukraine. Belarus was allowed to re-enter.
All lower divisions will play their tournament with two groups, a knockout stage and the winner of the final to be promoted. The last-placed teams of each group will play a two-game series to determine the relegated team.
