LONDON, ON (September 17, 2025) The stage is set for the best curlers in the world to descend on London, as the Grand Slam of Curling kicks off its 2025-26 season with the AMJ Masters, Sept. 23-28 at the Western Fair Sports Centre.
The AMJ Masters will feature 16 top men’s and 16 women’s teams from around the world competing for a combined $400,000 prize purse. Teams set to take the ice include world No. 1 Team Homan (Canada) and Team Mouat (Scotland), as well as Canadian and international favourites Team Gushue (Canada), Team Y. Schwaller (Switzerland), Team Einarson (Canada), and Team Tirinzoni (Switzerland). See here for a full team list and draw schedule.
Brad Gushue recently announced his retirement from competitive curling at the end of this season, so this makes the AMJ Masters the last opportunity for Londoners to see Gushue compete in the Forest City.
