The 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials (branded as the 2025 Montana's Canadian Curling Trials for sponsorship reasons) will be held from November 22 to 30 at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The winners of the men's and women's events will represent Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Qualification process
For the first time since 2013, the Olympic Trials returned to an eight-team format with teams qualifying either through national championship berths or CTRS standings.[1] The final spot in both fields was decided by the pre-trials event held in October.[2]

- ^ Spot was initially give to Team Reid Carruthers, however, they withdrew from the pre-trials due to Carruthers' coaching commitments with Team Kerri Einarson. They were replaced with Team Jayden King, the top-ranked men's team in the CTRS yet to qualify.[5]
