[EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, May 22, 2025] — The 2026 USA Curling Men’s & Women’s Club National Championships will be held at the Chaska Curling Center in Chaska, MN, from March 25-29, 2026.
Opened in 2015 and managed by Olympian Jeff Isaacson, this modern facility is one of the busiest in the country and has been an excellent host of previous USA Curling events.
“The Chaska Curling Center proves how valuable our sport and our clubs are to the communities around them,” said USA Curling CEO Dean Gemmell. “Their state-of-the-art facility has thrived since its debut, and it is a great venue for this important national championship.”
The Club Nationals has fields of 12 Men’s and 12 Women’s teams, advancing to the event through playdowns run by the Recognized Regional Associations of USA Curling. Additional berths are awarded to the region with the most playdown entries, while the host club also receives an entry in both the Men’s and Women’s competition.
Teams are divided into two pools of six, with the top three advancing to the playoffs. The first place teams in each pool earn a bye to the semi-finals, while the other teams compete in a preliminary playoff round. In 2025, the Milwaukee Curling Club hosted this championship. Team Schroeder from the Madison Curling Club defended their Women’s title, while Team Leichter of the Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland, MA, captured went undefeated in the event to capture the crown.
Gemmell added, “This championship offers top-tier competition while honoring the club history of our sport. Players will enjoy great conditions and a terrific atmosphere off the ice.”
