The post-Olympics curling blues end now — the 2026 Brier returns to St. John’s, Newfoundland, featuring 18 men’s teams and plenty of star power. Olympic gold-medal skip Brad Jacobs will be back to defend his title, while hometown legend Brad Gushue — a Turin 2006 gold-medalist and six-time Brier champion — says this 23rd appearance will be his last. Expect a marquee showdown (maybe a Battle of the Brads) and strong challenges from contenders like Matt Dunstone’s Manitoba squad.
