The 2026 Montana's Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, was held from February 27 to March 8 at Mary Brown's Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[1][2] The winning Matt Dunstone rink will represent Canada at the 2026 World Men's Curling Championship at the Weber County Ice Sheet in Ogden City, Utah.[3]

Notably, it is believed that this was the first Brier with a Black skip and a skip of Asian descent, with Jayden King, whose father is from Trinidad and Tobago, skipping team Ontario, and Cody Tanaka heading team British Columbia.[4]

The event was also a "swan song" for 2006 Olympic gold medallist Brad Gushue who announced his retirement from competitive curling, and is playing in his final Brier on home ice.[5] It was also a final Brier for Quebec's Jean-Michel Ménard, Martin Crête and Jean-François Trépanier as well as Manitoba's E. J. Harnden who all announced their retirements from the sport.

Teams

A total of eighteen teams qualified for the 2026 Brier. The fourteen Canadian curling member associations held playdowns to determine who would represent their province or territory. Team Canada is represented by Team Brad Jacobs, who won the 2025 Montana's Brier.[6] They are also fresh off winning gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

In a continuation of the 2025 qualifying format, the final three teams in the field pre-qualified for the 2026 Brier based on their 2024–25 Canadian Team Ranking Standings, which meant they bypassed the provincial qualifiers. These spots went to Teams Matt Dunstone, Mike McEwen and Brad Gushue.[7]
