Curling competition at Calgary, Alberta
The 2025 PointsBet Invitational curling tournament was held from October 1 to 5 at the Markin MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta.[1] The event features twenty Canadian teams and is the first major event of the 2025–26 Season of Champions for Curling Canada.[2] In a change of format, the event is being played in a round-robin tournament with the top team in each pool advancing to the final. The winning team on both the men's and women's side will receive $35,000 each.
With the change in format from a single-knockout to a round robin, the field was reduced from sixteen to ten teams. The seven teams qualified for the 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials all received invitations, while the final three spots were filled by the top ranked non-qualified team, the top ranked non-qualified Under-27 team and the winners of the 2025 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.[3]
