Streaming in US
Is there a guide anywhere for US fans to somewhat closely follow curling?
I haven’t watched much outside of the obvious Scotties and Brier on YouTube plus whatever Peacock is showing for the past couple of years. I’d like to watch more this year.
So far I’ve come up with: rockchannel.com for GSOC and curlingchannel.tv for European events. Looks like there is a cost associated with both but no information is on either site.
Presumably, tsn+ or sportsnet+ would be an option via a VPN but I’m not sure if the amount of curling on either really makes it worth it.
Some individual events would have YouTube broadcasts based off of past years.
I realize there are similar threads on here but they are many years old and a lot of the info is out of date.

Rock Channel was free last year. Don't know if that will continue to be the case, but they really need to keep eye balls on their product.
Curling is tough, since it's an event based sport and streaming/broadcasting is pretty much up to the event itself.
Curlingzone.com has a complete list of high level events and often has streaming links for live and past games, when available.

If you really want to follow along, I'd link up with the Curling Everywhere discord. Enfranchised curling fans will share streaming links during events, major and minor.

“Starting with the 2026-27 season, Rock Channel will be shifting to a paid model, with both per-event and per-season packages available. More details on pricing to come.”

It sucks, but I'm sure it will not be a lot given how reasonably priced their Rock League was. They do need to make money to survive.

Probably not what you are after but there are a bunch of clubs who use Curling Stadium on YouTube. You can see some club level matches and spiels if you are just looking for casual games.

Looks like Grand Slam and Rock League are apart of ESPN+ now for the next three years according to an email I got 15 minutes ago!

YouTube has quite a few events. Curling Zone's channel has a bunch, WC TV just had the baden masters, and the a lot of the provinces have a channel that will broadcast their play downs and a spiel or two.

Tbh I don't really care to watch anything that isn't on TSN. And let's see who's replacing Vic first.

Schedules and streaming options for US events will be (not posted yet) on the USA Curling website under "start curling" and on individual event pages as the season gets spun up. World Curling streams most of their events for a small fee on curlingchannel.tv
