The winning team will represent Canada at the 2018 World Men 's Curling Championship from March 31 to April 8, 2018 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, United States. This marked the fifth time the Brier was held in Regina, the first time since 2006. The 2018 tournament was the first to use a new 16 - team format, featuring representation by all fourteen member associations of Curling Canada, alongside the defending champions ( as Team Canada ), and a new wildcard team. As part of this new format, the Bronze medal game was removed from the schedule.

The teams were divided into two pools for round robin play, after which the top four teams from each advanced to a Championship Pool. Alongside the inclusion of the previous year 's champions as Team Canada, the final spot in the tournament was filled by a wildcard play - in game held on the Friday before the tournament. The rinks of John Epping ( Ontario ), Mike Fournier ( Quebec ), and Greg Smith ( Newfoundland and Labrador ) made their Brier debuts. Team Canada 's Brad Gushue set a new record for the most Brier game wins as a skip when he skipped the 114th win of his Brier career over the Northwest Territories on March 5.
