Find out more about the 2023 European Curling Championships, which will be held in Aberdeen, Scotland, from November 18–25. Olympics.com and the official Olympic app for mobile devices will offer live streaming of the semi-finals and finals on the Olympic Channel.
20 curling teams will compete for the continental title in Aberdeen from November 18–25, 2023, home of the European Curling Championships.
The men’s and women’s championships will be held concurrently at the event in Scotland, which will be streamed live on the Olympic Channel via Olympics.com and the official Olympics app for mobile devices. This means that curling fans can expect an action-packed week of curling.
The same format will be used for both competitions. The top four teams will then be paired for two semi-final matches after each team plays the other once in a round-robin format.
Bronze medal matches will be held for the runners-up, and the winners will move on to the final.
The top eight teams from each of the two competitions will also be eligible to compete in the 2024 World Curling Championships. Switzerland is automatically qualified as one of the eight European teams because they are the hosts of the men’s competition.

As they aim for a hat-trick of titles in Aberdeen, defending champions Scotland, led by skipper Bruce Mouat and his team, will be relying on the strength of a home crowd.
The Scots, who are the current world champions and silver medalists at the Olympics, will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent when the competition commences, but there are many other competitors prepared to face them.
Italy, led by skip Joel Retornaz, is currently in scorching form after winning their third Grand Slam of Curling championship overall and their second this season.
With Milano Cortina 2026 rapidly approaching, the Italians’ triumph places them as the top-ranked team going into Aberdeen according to the World Curling rankings. As a result, international victories will be viewed as a component of the preparation.
Sweden, the Olympic champions, will also be involved.
Skip Niklas Edin of Sweden is back in the lead after missing the competition the previous year due to injury. The 38-year-old will be aiming for an incredible eighth European title.
2009 marked Edin’s debut victory on the European stage, and 2012 marked his second championship victory. The Swedes then had a firm hold on the Championship from 2014 to 2017, winning four straight titles before Scotland upset them.
Before Scotland’s pair of titles in 2021 and 2022, Sweden went on to win the championship back in 2019. The COVID-19 global pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 event.
In an unexpected outcome, Madeleine Dupont of Denmark triumphed over Silvana Tirinzoni of Switzerland in the women’s event last year.
Denmark won its second-ever curling championship in Europe with this victory.
With Dupont sitting out the action after it was revealed that she was pregnant, the Danish team, which will attempt to defend their title, will appear significantly different. Instead, Mathilde Halse will assume responsibility for skip.
Not just Denmark will be sporting a new look in Aberdeen. This year, Isabella Wrana will lead Sweden, which has been represented by Anna Hasselborg for the past few years. To be eligible to wear the Swedish colors, Wrana defeated Hasselborg in a qualifier for the competition.
Threats to the Danes’ title defence will come from all sides; Rebecca Morrison of Scotland, Tirinzoni of Switzerland, and Stefania Constantini of Italy could all succeed.
Morrison, the bronze medallist from the previous year, will benefit from home support, Constantini’s Olympic gold medal experience in mixed doubles, and Tirinzoni’s three world titles.
Live streaming of the semi-finals and finals of the 2023 European Curling Championships in Aberdeen, Scotland, will be accessible on Olympics.com and the Olympic Channel. There might be some territorial limitations.
