The table below lists the judgments delivered by the Supreme Court of Canada during 2026. The judgments are listed in chronological order, starting with the first judgment rendered on January 22, 2026, and will continue until the last judgment in 2026, which will likely be rendered in December. The table gives a general illustration of the positions taken by each justice on each case, and how justices concurred or dissented with the decisions of the majority.

The Supreme Court normally reserves its judgment after hearing argument on an appeal, and then gives its judgment at some later date by depositing the judgment and reasons with the Registrar of the Supreme Court.Ragan, Estabrooks, Ouellet and Desjardins, Supreme Court of Canada Practice 2025 (Thomson Reuters, 2025), p. 47. On average, judgments in reserved cases are given within six months of the hearing date. In some cases, the court may give its judgment from the bench at the conclusion of the hearing, with a short outline of its reasons. Those judgments are indicated in the table. The court may also give its judgment from the bench at the conclusion of the hearing, reasons to follow at a later date. Those judgments are included on the date reasons are given, which may be in a subsequent year.

This table includes cases which were argued in a previous year and reserved, with the judgment given in 2026. Cases which were heard in 2026 and reserved, with judgment in a later year, will be included in the article for the later year.

There have been two changes in the membership of the court so far in 2026:

Justice Martin resigned on May 30, 2026;Supreme Court of Canada: Biographies of Former Justices: The Honourable Sheilah L. Martin.

Glenn Joyal, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench of Manitoba, was appointed to succeed Justice Martin, effective July 15, 2026.Supreme Court of Canada: Biographies of Justices: The Honourable Glenn D. Joyal.

The Supreme Court Act authorises a retired judge to participate in appeals they heard prior to their retirement and which are on reserve, for up to six months.Ragan et al., Supreme Court of Canada Practice 2025, p. 189. Martin is doing so, starting with R v Berg on June 5, 2026.R. v. Berg, 2026 SCC 21.
