Grand Slam of Curling & Rock League sign three-year U.S. streaming deal with ESPN

The Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League have announced a new three-year agreement with ESPN that will bring more than 300 hours of live curling coverage to U.S. audiences during the 2026-27 season.

Starting in October, ESPN will become the U.S. streaming home of the Grand Slam of Curling, delivering live coverage from all five events on ESPN+ on the ESPN App. Rock League also returns to ESPN+ in January. ESPN+ will stream the league’s complete season over select weeks from January through April.

“This agreement with ESPN represents a major milestone in our continued commitment to growing curling in the United States and around the world,” said Nic Sulsky, Co-Founder and CEO, The Curling Group, which owns and operates both leagues. “By bringing both the Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League to ESPN, we ensure these incredible performances are available to a broader audience.”

The ESPN streaming deal follows new five-year Canadian broadcast agreements announced last week with CBC and Sportsnet, that will see the two networks split coverage of the Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League between them.
