Host city	St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

Dates	February 27 – March 8
«  2025 2027  »

The 2026 Montana's Brier , Canada's national men's curling championship, will be held from February 27 to March 8 at Mary Brown's Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. ^{[1] [2]} The winning rink will represent Canada at the 2026 World Men's Curling Championship at the Weber County Ice Sheet in Ogden City, Utah. ^[3]

Teams

A total of eighteen teams will qualify for the 2026 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 Jacobs, who won the 2025 Montana's Brier. ^[4]

In a continuation of the 2025 qualifying format, the final three teams in the field pre-qualified for the 2026 Brier based on their 2024–25 Canadian Team Ranking Standings, which meant they bypassed the provincial qualifiers. These spots went to Teams Matt Dunstone, Mike McEwen and Brad Gushue. ^[5]
