The 2026 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard, the men's provincial curling championship for Newfoundland and Labrador, was held from January 20 to 25 at the RE/MAX Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The winning Nathan Young rink will represent Newfoundland and Labrador as the host team at the 2026 Montana's Brier in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[1]

Having finished fourth on the CTRS standings for the 2024–25 season, Team Brad Gushue earned an automatic berth at the national championship. This means Newfoundland and Labrador will qualify two teams for the Brier.[2]
