The 2026 U Sports Women's Final 8 Basketball Tournament was held March 4–8, 2026, in Quebec City, Quebec, to determine a national champion for the 2025–26 U Sports women's basketball season.
The Saskatchewan Huskies defeated the AUS Champion UNB Reds to win the program's fourth national championship. The Huskies entered the season as defending champions and proceeded to go undefeated through the 20-game regular season. Their program-record 51-game winning streak - the longest in U Sports women's basketball since Simon Fraser's 54-game run in 2010 - was finally snapped by the Calgary Dinos in a 61-58 upset during the Canada West semifinals.
Despite the loss, the Huskies' body of work earned them the at-large wildcard berth, entering the national tournament as the fifth seed. By securing the Bronze Baby, the Huskies became the first team to repeat as national champions since the Carleton Ravens (2023–24), finishing the year with a near-perfect overall record of 30-1.
