Grand Slam of Curling, Rock League secure expanded U.S. coverage with new ESPN deal
More than 300 hours of live streaming coverage are on tap for the upcoming curling season.
Curling fans in the United States can look forward to more frequent coverage of their favorite sport, thanks to a new agreement between The Curling Group and ESPN. The three-year deal will see the Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League join ESPN+, providing over 300 hours of live coverage during the 2026-27 season. This comes after U.S. fans had a lengthy wait between the Beijing and Milan Cortina Winter Games without access to curling's biggest events.
ESPN stepped back into the market last spring, covering the week-long Rock League rollout, and now the new deal will make it the go-to option for curling. Nic Sulsky, co-founder and CEO of The Curling Group, expressed excitement about the expanded reach of the sport in the United States and globally. The coverage begins in mid-October with the GSOC Invitational in Victoria, British Columbia, featuring top teams such as 2026 Olympic gold medalists Brad Jacobs of Canada and Anna Hasselborg of Sweden.
The world's top teams will make five stops around Canada, concluding with the Players' Cup in December.
