The 2026 Quebec Tankard (French: Championnat provincial Tankard 2026), the provincial men's curling championship of Quebec, was held from January 5 to 11 at the Complexe Sportif Desjardins in Rimouski, Quebec.[1] The winning Jean-Michel Ménard rink will represent Quebec at the 2026 Montana's Brier in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[2] The event was held in conjunction with the 2026 Quebec Women's Curling Championship, the provincial women's curling championship.[3]
