ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The Canadian men’s curling championship will return to St. John’s, N.L., next year.

Curling Canada says the 2026 Montana’s Brier will be held Feb. 27-March 8 at the Mary Brown’s Centre.

The playdowns will begin five days after the closing ceremony at the Milan Olympics.

St. John’s-based skip Brad Gushue made the announcement this morning at a Montana’s restaurant in the city.

Gushue won his first Brier the last time St. John’s hosted in 2017.
