The curling competitions of the 2026 Winter Olympics are being held at the Cortina Olympic Stadium in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Curling competitions are scheduled for every day of the Games, from 4 to 22 February.[1] This will be the ninth time that curling has appeared on the Olympic program.

Ten nations will compete in each of the three categories: men's, women's, and mixed doubles. There are 120 quota spots (60 per sex) distributed to the sport of curling, however athletes may compete in both men's/women's and mixed doubles if their nation has qualified and the athlete is nominated for both events by their NOC. A total of three events are being contested, one for men, one for women, and one mixed.[2]

Qualification

As the host, Italy automatically qualified a team for each event.[3]

Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics was determined through two methods:[1]

  1. The eight highest ranked National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from a list generated by Olympic Qualification Points earned at the 2024 and 2025 women’s, men’s and mixed doubles world championships qualified for the Olympic Winter Games. In the event of the hosts of the Olympic Winter Games, Italy, not finishing in the top eight places of the respective discipline, only the seven highest ranked NOCs would qualify for the Olympic Winter Games through this path.
  2. The remaining two spaces in each event were decided at the Olympic Qualification Event, held in December 2025 at the Kelowna Curling Club in Kelowna, Canada.[4]

Allegations of delivery violations

Both the men's and women's Canadian curling teams were accused of delivery violations, specifically touching the stone after it reached the hog line, and touching the granite surface of the stone rather than just the handle.[10] The women's team had a stone removed during their round-robin loss to Switzerland for double-touching.[11] The WCF decided to position umpires at the hog line to watch for potential violations. After a stone from a British curler was also removed from play for similar reasons the WCF held a meeting with representative teams where it was decided that umpires would only continue policing the hog line if there was a complaint during a game.[12]
