Teams
A total of eighteen teams will qualify for the 2024 Brier. The fourteen Canadian curling member associations will hold playdowns to determine who would represent their province or territory. Team Canada is represented by Team Brad Gushue, who won their second consecutive Brier championship at the 2023 Tim Hortons Brier.
In a change in the qualification format, the Brendan Bottcher and Matt Dunstone rinks automatically pre-qualified for the 2024 Brier field based on their 2022-23Canadian Team Ranking Standings, which meant they bypassed the provincial qualifiers.[3] A fourth qualifying team, Kevin Koe, joined the field as the top non-qualified team on the 2023–24 CTRS standings following provincial and territorial playdowns.[3]
Previously, three wild card berths were allocated to the top teams in the Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS) standings who did not win their provincial/territorial championship. Beginning with this year's Brier, Curling Canada changed the qualification format where the top two teams from the previous year's CTRS would receive an automatic pre-qualification berth without having to qualify. The final berth will be given to the team with the highest CTRS ranking who did not win their provincial/territorial championship.
