Diving World Cup Kicks Off in Canada: Schedule and Team Ukraine's Roster
The Diving World Cup will consist of two stops and a Super Final.
The Diving World Cup kicks off with the first stop of the 2026 season, held February 26 to March 1 by Canada's Montreal.
In total, this year's World Cup consists of two stops, in Canada and Mexico (taking place March 5–8), plus a Super Final in China (May 1–3). That event will feature the 12 best athletes in individual events and the top eight pairs in synchro.

The mixed team of Sereda, Boliukh, Bailo, and Lyskun also won silver in the mixed team event, also at the Super Final in China.
