The 2026 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Championship was held from January 20 to 25, at the Bemidji Curling Club in Bemidji, Minnesota. The championship featured sixteen teams, split into two pools of eight teams. After a round-robin within each pool, the top three teams from each pool advanced to a single-elimination playoff bracket.
The winning pair of Rachel Kawleski and Connor Kauffman will represent the United States at the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Geneva, Switzerland.
Of note, the Olympic mixed doubles team of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin did not compete as the event was held a week prior to the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
