COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 20, 2026) – The U.S. Women’s National Team is on its way to Zinacantepec, Mexico, for the 2026 NORCECA Women’s Final Six, Sept. 21-27.
The U.S. is the defending champion of the event, and the team kicks of the tournament on Sept. 21 against Canada. Besides the U.S. and Canada, the remaining teams are Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Each team plays each other in round robin format, and the top four teams move on to the semifinals.
Head coach Erik Sullivan is taking nearly the exact same roster as the one that won the Pan American Cup on Sept. 18. The only change is the addition of Elena Scott at libero instead of Lauren Briseño. Scott makes her 2026 national team debut.
