The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Curling Trials for the 2026 Milan Cortina Games air live on Peacock and USA Network through this weekend.
Competition began with round-robin play on Tuesday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The finals — best-of-three championship series — start Friday.
The men’s championship series pits Team Shuster against Team Casper.
In the women’s event, Team Cousins plays Team Peterson in the championship series.
The trials winners in the men’s and women’s team events advance to an international Olympic qualification event in December where the top two women’s and men’s teams qualify for the Milan Cortina Games.
The trials winner in wheelchair mixed doubles qualifies automatically for the Milan Cortina Paralympics in March.
The Paralympic berth in wheelchair mixed doubles — which makes its Paralympic debut in Milan Cortina — will be decided between Laura Dwyer and Steve Emt and Penny Ricker and David Samsa.
The first games of each championship series are Friday. The second games are Saturday, meaning trials will end on Saturday if each of the three series are sweeps. Any third games, if necessary, are Sunday.
The TV and streaming coverage plans for Sunday are dictated by results from Saturday, and therefore subject to change.
