On the night of December 30–31, the 5th game day of the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship (U-20) will take place at ice arenas in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA).
Games from rounds 3/4 of the group stage are scheduled for today. This includes a key tournament game for Latvia. The Latvians will face Group B outsiders Denmark for a place in the playoffs.
