The Rock League, a new curling event series from The Curling Group, launched in Toronto in early April 2026. The league introduces a unique social format where games are played on a dedicated curling sheet adjacent to a bar, aiming to blend competitive play with a casual atmosphere.
The Curling Group, which also owns the Grand Slam of Curling series, is behind the initiative. The league's format features a "frenemies" draft system, where teams are formed through a selection process involving both friends and rivals, though specific team rosters and participating Olympic champions have not been officially detailed in recent announcements.
The launch event was held at a venue in Toronto designed specifically for the league. The concept focuses on making the sport more accessible and entertaining for both players and spectators, moving beyond traditional tournament structures.
