World Curling partners with The Curling Club for inaugural UK Floor Curling Championships
World Curling is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with London and Manchester-based winter entertainment destination The Curling Club to support the promotion of floor curling across the United Kingdom.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in expanding the accessibility and popularity of this innovative iceless version of curling.
The partnership will introduce the inaugural UK Floor Curling Championships, scheduled for February 2026, coinciding with the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. The events will be hosted across The Curling Club’s UK venues, offering a prime opportunity for enthusiasts and newcomers alike to experience the sport at its best.
Thanks to its inclusive and accessible nature, floor curling is gaining momentum, especially in regions where ice is not readily available. In countries with ice access, floor curling is being used both as a training tool and a social sport played at competitive and recreational events.
The UK joins the ranks of nations such as South Korea, Chinese Taipei and Türkiye which have successfully hosted their own Floor Curling championships, further solidifying the sport’s global presence.
James Beatt, World Curling Commercial Strategy Lead, said, “World Curling is thrilled to partner with the Curling Club to build on their success, developing venues across the UK.
“Together, we aim to bring more people into the sport — not just watching but participating — as we continue to grow momentum in what promises to be an exciting journey toward Milano Cortina 2026.”
Dylan Salamon, The Curling Club Director, said, “It is a privilege to partner with World Curling. World Curling have recognised that our wonderful sport of Floor Curling is accessible to all and incredibly enjoyable.
“We greatly look forward to working with them to bring this fantastic sport to the masses through the UK Floor Curing Championship.”
