The cure for your post-Olympics curling letdown is here, as the Brier returns for 2026. St. John’s, Newfoundland will play host to this year’s tournament featuring 18 men’s teams, including Brad Jacobs’ 2026 Olympic gold medalists, who will be looking to defend their title.

While Jacobs will have plenty of support after his recent triumph in Italy, the gold medalists from the previous Winter Games in Italy figure to have more. St. John’s native Brad Gushue, gold medal winner in Turin in 2006, has said this Brier — his 23rd — will be his last. He has won the tournament six times and will look to go out on top.
