Teams

A total of eighteen teams will qualify for the 2025 Brier. The fourteen Canadian curling member associations will hold playdowns to determine who will represent their province or territory. Team Canada is represented by Team Brad Gushue, who won the 2024 Montana's Brier. [4]

In a slight change in the qualification format from 2024, the final three teams in the field pre-qualified for the 2025 Brier based on their 2023–24 Canadian Team Ranking Standings, which meant they bypassed the provincial qualifiers. These spots went to Teams Brad Jacobs, Mike McEwen and Matt Dunstone. [5] This is different from the 2024 qualification where two teams pre-qualified for the event with the final spot going to the highest ranked team on the CTRS standings following the conclusion of the provincial championships. [6]
