The 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials (branded as the 2025 Montana's Canadian Curling Trials for sponsorship reasons) were held from November 22 to 29 at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The winners of the men's and women's events represented Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Opening Game on November 22.
For the first time since 2013, the Olympic Trials returned to an eight-team format with teams qualifying either through national championship berths or CTRS standings. The final spot in both fields was decided by the pre-trials event held in October. In April 2023, it was announced that the tournament finals will introduce a best-of-three format.
