[EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, January 23, 2025] — Fans will have no shortage of options for live action and archived content as the USA Curling championship season continues.
In 2025, USA Curling will be moving coverage of the Men’s & Women’s Nationals and the Junior Men’s & Women’s Nationals to the Stadium Sports platform.
Men’s & Women’s National Championships
The Men’s & Women’s National Championships, getting underway at 7 PM CT on Monday, January 27th, kick off the coverage. USA Curling partner Stadium Sports Network (SSN) will stream every game of the championships, with one feature game during each session of play. 2018 Olympic Gold Medalist Tyler George returns as an analyst, along with three-time national champion Alex Carlson. Joining them in the booth will be Matt Perushek, a 2008 World Junior Men’s Champion while playing with Chris Plys of Team Shuster.
All games will be available live and free on SSN—a link to the platform will also be on the USA Curling website. Subscribers to the platform can access archived games, replays, highlights, clip sharing, and other bonus content from both these national championships and other events covered by SSN.
“We’re excited to offer live games free on SSN, along with replays and bonus content for subscribers,” said USA Curling CEO Dean Gemmell. “We launched our partnership with SSN in 2023, and the coverage they provide has been very well-received. We’re looking forward to some new features and additional improvements this year.”
Fans can subscribe for additional content at the Stadium Sports platform.
U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Mixed Doubles Curling
Coverage continues during the 2026 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Mixed Doubles Curling, slated for February 17-23, 2025, at Rock Creek Curling in Lafayette, CO. NBC Sports will offer live coverage of the Trials with over 100 hours of live coverage across CNBC and Peacock. Coverage begins on Peacock on Monday, Feb. 17, with all five games from Draw 1 at 9 p.m. ET. Live coverage of the Mixed Doubles Curling Olympic Trials concludes on Sunday, Feb. 23, when CNBC and Peacock will carry Game 2 of the Final at 2 p.m. ET and Game 3 (if necessary) at 8 p.m. ET.
Stadium Sports will handle production of the qualifying rounds, with 2018 Olympic Gold Medalist Tyler George joined in the booth by Renee Washington. When coverage moves to CNBC, 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist Kevin Martin will work alongside Jason Knapp. All Mixed Doubles Curling Olympic Trials coverage will also stream via NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app.
“It’s terrific that NBC will provide so much coverage across their platforms and on CNBC,” Gemmell noted. “The coverage on Peacock will follow the all-sheets, one feature game model we have established for our own national championships. The amount of hours devoted to our sport demonstrates the belief NBC has in curling, and I hope curling fans will prove them right by watching on both Peacock and the CNBC.”
Junior Men’s & Junior Women’s National Championships
From April 1-6, 2025, USA Curling and Stadium Sports will be in Bowling Green, OH, for the Junior Men’s & Junior Women’s Nationals. Coverage will once again include all sheets, with a feature game during each draw and the playoff rounds. Like the Men’s & Women’s Nationals, live games will be available for free on the Stadium Sports platform.
John Benton of Stadium Sports added, “We continue to leverage technology to deliver more curling coverage, both here in the United States and around the world. It’s exciting and rewarding to let fans see great games and great athletes.”
