The 2026 Pan American Men’s and Women’s Team Championships marked the 6th edition of the Pan American Team Championships. The tournament also served as the Americas qualification event for the 34th Thomas Cup (Men’s Team) and the 31st Uber Cup (Women’s Team). Organized by the Badminton Pan America Confederation, the event featured separate competitions for men’s and women’s teams, each determining its own champion. The winners earned qualification spots for the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup.

Held in Guatemala from February 12 to 15, this year’s tournament brought together the strongest women’s national teams across the Americas, representing the highest level of women’s team competition in the region. Throughout the event, Catherine CHOI delivered consistent performances, demonstrating exceptional doubles strength and seasoned match experience in crucial ties, playing a decisive role in Canada’s journey to the top of the podium.
