Teams from 13 nations are gathered in Utah for the 2026 World Men’s Curling Championships.
The competition is being held in the United States for the first time since Las Vegas hosted in 2022, but it will be a tough task for the host nation to reach the podium. Skip John Shuster led the most recent USA team to medal, taking bronze a decade ago, and he returns with hopes of giving the home fans something to cheer about.
Sweden and Scotland have dominated recent editions of the tournament, which dates to 1959. Sweden skip Niklas Edin has led seven world champions since his first gold in 2013, including four in a row between 2018 and 2022. Scotland took the title in 2023 and 2025 behind Bruce Mouat but sends a different team skipped by 2021 silver medalist Ross Whyte this time.
Canada has endured a long drought since Brad Gushue led the nation to gold in 2017, falling in the final five times in six tournaments before taking bronze last year. Matthew Dunstone will lead Canada into Worlds for the first time after winning the Brier earlier this month.
Who will come out on top this time? See below for the full schedule, scores and information on how to watch all the action.
