Rock League is curling’s first professional league, featuring six mixed-gender, globally based franchises in a multi-format competition built to push the sport into a new professional era.
The league’s six inaugural franchises - two in Canada, two in Europe, one in Asia-Pacific, and one in the U.S. - each feature 10 athletes: five women and five men.
Rock League hits the ice in Spring 2026, offering fans a look at its new formats, top-tier athletes, and entertainment-driven vibe.Â
With a mission to raise the level of competition, spark innovation, and connect curling communities worldwide, Rock League will showcase mixed doubles, mixed fours, and traditional four-person women’s and men’s play.
Dates, locations formats and entertainment schedule to be announced in the coming weeks.
Broadcast partners and details will be announced in the coming months.
No, there will be no Slam events scheduled during Rock League events/seasons.Â
GMs were selected for their strong ties to the regions they will oversee and will be responsible for roster management, coaching leadership, and day-to-day team operations. The GMs include Eve Muirhead (Team Alpine), JD Lind (Typhoon Curling Club), Glenn Howard (Maple United), Carter Rycroft (Shield Curling Club), Christoffer Svae (Northern United), and Chris Plys (Frontier Curling Club).Â
The team rosters were thoughtfully crafted by Jennifer Jones and John Morris, taking into account far more than on-ice talent. They looked for dynamic athletes who display adaptability and a proven ability to thrive in team environments, along with a genuine passion for elevating the sport both on and off the ice.
To maintain competitive balance and to ensure no existing four-player teams compete together in Rock League, each team includes designated “import” players from outside its regional base. (4 players max)
Currently, all franchises are owned by The Curling Group.
Yes, all Rock League athletes earn a participation fee as a part of their agreement, in addition to prize purse earnings.
A limited amount of team merchandise is now available at The Rock Shop. Team jerseys to be revealed in 2026.
