The 2026 RME New Holland Alberta Women's Summit of Champions presented by Sentinel Storage, the provincial women's curling championship for Alberta, was held from January 5 to 11 at The Murray Arena in Okotoks, Alberta.[1] The winning Selena Sturmay rink will represent Alberta at the 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Mississauga, Ontario.[2] The event was held in conjunction with the 2026 Alberta Men's Curling Championship, the provincial men's championship.

Having finished third on the CTRS standings for the 2024–25 season, defending champions Team Kayla Skrlik earned an automatic berth at the national championship. This meant Alberta would qualify two teams for the Scotties.[3]
