The best senior curlers in the nation will descend on Saskatoon next year for the national championships.
The 2026 Canadian Senior Curling Championships are set to run from Dec. 6 to 13, 2026 at the Nutana Curling Club, marking the second time the club has played host to the event. The winners of the championships will go on to represent the nation at the 2027 World Senior Curling Championships, with the dates and venue for that event still to be determined.

“Saskatoon has proven time and time again that it hosts professional-level curling championships, and we know the 2026 Canadian Senior Curling Championships at the Nutana Curling Club will continue that tradition,” Nolan Thiessen, CEO of Curling Canada, said in a statement.
“The Canadian Seniors is the true spirit of curling with great competition on the ice and true camaraderie off it. We look forward to an amazing event in Saskatoon next year.”
The last time the event was held in Saskatchewan was back in 2008, when Prince Albert played host. During that event, Team Eugene Hritzuk claimed gold for Saskatchewan, while the women’s title was on by Team Pat Sanders from B.C.
“We are so honoured to be hosting this Curling Canada Event,” said Kory Kohuch, the Nutana Curling Club’s general manager and one of the reigning senior men’s champions as part of Bruce Korte’s Saskatchewan team.
“Many of these senior curlers were the pioneers of the men’s and women’s World Curling Tour. Many have played in Briers and Scotties. These players are still really good. And they all love to have a great time. Our playing conditions will be amazing and our hospitality will be top notch.”
Sherry Anderson, a three-time world champion, said the Nutana Curling Club will be an excellent venue for the championships next year.
“The event is such a fantastic, social, competitive, friendly, fun event,” Anderson said in a statement.
“We made so many lasting memories from those events and playing against people whom I had played against my whole competitive curling career. I hope people come out to support it and watch curlers they used to see on TV at the Scotties and Brier.”
Less than three months after the senior championships wrap up, Saskatoon will once again be the centre of the curling world as the city hosts the 2027 Brier, which runs from Feb. 26 to March 7, 2027 at SaskTel Centre.
