The IHF has announced an update to the Final Round schedule of the 2026 IHF Women's Junior World Championship, with both semi-finals now set to take place at the Jinzhong City Gymnasium on 3 July.

The decision marks a change from the previously announced schedule, which had the two semi-finals split across different venues, one scheduled at the Jinzhong City Gymnasium and the other one at the Jinzhonhg College Gymnasium. Semi-Final 1 will now be played at 16:00 CST (CEST +6), followed by Semi-Final 2 at 18:30 CST, both at the Jinzhong City Gymnasium.
