The 2026 IIHF U18 Asia Cup was an international men's under-18 ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The tournament was played from 27 April to 3 May 2026 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. This was the fourth under-18 edition of the event.[1]
Iran were supposed to compete, alongside Macau and Indonesia in Group A, but due to the current situation in the Middle East, Iran were unable to participate, and Uzbekistan took their place.
Format
The teams were divided into two groups of three using the serpentine system. In the group stage, each team from Group A face all three opponents from Group B, and vice versa. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals, which will be played as A1 vs. A2, and B1 vs. B2.
