The 2026 Brier, the Canadian men's curling championship, will be held in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador from February 27th to March 8th. This marks the second time the city will host the event after a successful 2017 Brier where local skip Brad Gushue led his team to victory.
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The Canadian men's curling championship will return to St. John's, N.L., next year, Curling Canada announced Monday.
The playdowns will begin five days after the closing ceremony at the 2026 Milan Olympics. The men's team that represents Canada will be able to play in the Brier as well, provided the rink has qualified. The 2017 competition was one for the ages as the hometown favourites won on a Gushue draw to the eight-foot ring that required a furious sweep from vice Mark Nichols and then-second Brett Gallant.
"It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the organizing committee there is ready to put in the work to make the 2026 Montana’s Brier even better than 2017, if that’s possible.” “There is so much pride in our province and our city and I really do share in the excitement today," said Gushue, who's currently fourth in the national rankings."It’s going to be an amazing event, and I’m already counting down the days.”
