The 2026 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Championship was held from January 20 to 25, at the Bemidji Curling Club in Bemidji, Minnesota.[1] 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.[1]

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.[1]

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.
