The World Men’s Curling Championship will be at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas starting March 31 through April 8.

A total of 13 teams from the European Zone, Americas Zone and Pacific-Asia Zone will compete for the championship title. 

Each participating team will play 12 games during the seven-day round-robin portion, followed by a playoff round featuring the top six teams. From there, the teams will be pared down to a medal round for the final four. The crowning of the new world champions will take place on Sunday, April 8.

Curling teams participating this year include the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Scotland, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Russia and Switzerland.  

Team U.S.A. and Team Canada representatives will be decided on March 10 and 11 at their respective national championships. Sweden will be represented by the Niklas Edin team that was defeated by Team U.S.A. in the gold medal final at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games.
