Eight teams compete in the Alberta Junior B Provincials. The two largest leagues (Capital Junior Hockey League, Heritage Junior B Hockey League) send two teams each, the remaining three send one, while the host team is guaranteed a berth.
Starting with the 2023 championships the format was revised such that only the league playoff champion is to advance plus the host city team.
Leagues:
- Calgary Junior Hockey League
- Capital Junior Hockey League
- Heritage Junior B Hockey League
- North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League
- Northwest Junior Hockey League
