The 2026 Montana's Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, was held from February 27 to March 8 at Mary Brown's Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The winning Matt Dunstone rink will represent Canada at the 2026 World Men's Curling Championship at the Weber County Ice Sheet in Ogden City, Utah.
Notably, it is believed that this was the first Brier with a Black skip and a skip of Asian descent, with Jayden King, whose father is from Trinidad and Tobago, skipping team Ontario, and Cody Tanaka heading team British Columbia.
The event was also a "swan song" for 2006 Olympic gold medallist Brad Gushue who announced his retirement from competitive curling, and is playing in his final Brier on home ice. It was also a final Brier for Quebec's Jean-Michel Ménard, Martin Crête and Jean-François Trépanier as well as Manitoba's E. J. Harnden who all announced their retirements from the sport.
