Canadian women’s basketball continues to make its mark across the NCAA landscape, with over 150 Canadian student-athletes competing in Division I programs during the 2025/2026 season.

This year’s class represents the depth and evolution of the women’s game in Canada — a product of elite prep programs and club systems that continue to develop world-class talent. From Kia Nurse Elite, Become One (B1CE), and Sisters Keeper Elite to SLAM Elite, Capital Courts, and Canada Elite, the Canadian pipeline is stronger than ever.

CANADA’S GROWING PRESENCE IN THE NCAA

The 2025/2026 season features Canadian talent spread across every major conference — including the ACC, Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, and Pac-12. Ontario continues to lead all provinces in player representation, followed by Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta.

Players who once starred in Canadian prep leagues and showcase events are now key contributors for top NCAA programs, proving that the women’s game north of the border is producing elite prospects year after year.

CANADIAN PREP & CLUB IMPACT + NATIONAL TEAM INFLUENCE

Canada’s success in NCAA women’s basketball starts at the grassroots — but it’s reinforced by the rise of Canada Basketball’s youth national teams.

In the past two years alone, Canada has earned multiple Top-3 finishes at the U16, U18, and U23 FIBA Americas and World Championships, proving that the country’s development system now rivals any in the world.

Programs like Kia Nurse Elite (EYBL), Become One (B1CE), Sister Keepers Elite, SLAM Elite (Montreal), Capital Courts (Ottawa), and Canada Elite have built world-class environments that develop student-athletes on and off the court. These organizations provide exposure, structure, and a clear path to collegiate opportunities — ensuring Canada continues to produce Division I-caliber players each season.

Next Wave

The growth of women’s basketball in Canada shows no signs of slowing down. With more than 150 players competing at the NCAA level — and dozens more rising through prep programs, showcase leagues, and grassroots circuits — the foundation is set for sustained success.
