What do Team GB need to qualify for Winter Olympic curling semi-finals? Table, schedule and results in full

Team GB’s men have scraped into the semi-finals while the women are still battling to advance from the round robin stage at Milano-Cortina 2026

Great Britain’s men scraped into the curling semi-finals on Thursday to keep their medal hopes alive, while the women’s team continue to battle it out in the curling round robin stage at the Winter Olympics 2026.

GB’s men slumped to a 9-5 defeat by Canada on Tuesday evening following the controversy that erupted over the weekend with cheating accusations made against the Canadian team, but they hit back in style against the USA on Wednesday afternoon, winning 9-2 after just six ends to remain in the hunt for a medal and play-off spot.

Bruce Mouat’s rink required help from elsewhere to seal a top-four spot, needing either Norway or Italy to lose their final match on Thursday morning. Italy obliged by losing 9-5 to unbeaten Switzerland, while Norway beat already-qualified Canada to seal the final qualifying spot, one place above GB.

Britain’s uphill task continues though as they face top qualifiers Switzerland in the semi-final, where a win would guarantee at least silver - which they won in Beijing four years ago.

Team GB’s women face an uphill battle to match the men’s progression to the top four, but they snatched the most remarkable of 8-7 victories against the USA on Wednesday morning before thrashing Japan 9-3 in the evening to keep their hopes alive heading into the final set of round robin matches.
