The curling competitions of the 2026 Winter Olympics will be held at the Cortina Olympic Stadium in Cortina D’Ampezzo. Curling competitions are scheduled for 4-22 February.[1]
A total of 3 events will be contested, one for men, one for women, and one mixed. In each of the men's, women's, and mixed doubles competitions, 10 nations will compete.
Qualification
Italy qualifies, for each competition, automatically as the host.[2]
Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics was determined through two methods:[1]
- The eight highest ranked National Olympic Committees from a list generated by Olympic Qualification Points earned at the 2024 and 2025 women’s, men’s and mixed doubles world championships will qualify for the Olympic Winter Games. In case hosts of the Olympic Winter Games, Italy, does not finish in the top eight places of the respective discipline, only the seven highest ranked National Olympic Committees will qualify for the Olympic Winter Games through this path.
- The remaining two spaces in each event are decided at the Olympic Qualification Event, to be held in December 2025 at the Kelowna Curling Club, Kelowna, Canada.[3]
