Last Update: February 28, 2026
The 2026 Montana’s Brier, Canada’s national men’s curling championship, is scheduled to take
place from February 27 and runs through March 8, 2026, at the Mary Brown’s Centre in St.
John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
.
It will be Brad Gushue’s final Brier, as the curling legend announced he will retire after the
2025-26 season. The first draw of the 2026 Montana’s Brier is set for 7:30 p.m tonight.
The City of St. John’s is excited to host the 2026 Montana’s Brier! With thousands of people
expected throughout the event, residents and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and stay
informed about traffic and transportation impacts in the downtown area.
Increased traffic is anticipated. To help avoid delays, consider carpooling with friends or family,
using taxis or ride-sharing services, or taking public transit. If you plan to drive, arriving early is
strongly recommended, as parking availability will be limited.
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.
Will this year’s Brier come down to a Battle of the Brads or will another team like Matt
Dunstone’s Manitoba side break through?
Here’s everything you need to know to track all the action from St. John’s.
