The 2023 Pan Continental Curling Championships were held from October 29 to November 4 at the Kelowna Curling Club in Kelowna, British Columbia. The event was used to qualify teams for the 2024 World Curling Championships. Both men's and women's events consisted of an A Division and B Division.
In the men's competition, the top five teams from the A Division (Canada, South Korea, Japan, the United States, New Zealand) secured qualification for the 2024 World Men's Curling Championship, which was held in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Conversely, the team ranked lowest in the A Division (Guyana) was being relegated to the B Division in the following year. Additionally, the top finisher in the B Division (China) earned promotion to the A Division for the 2024 championship.
On the women's side, Canada automatically qualified as the host nation for the 2024 World Women's Curling Championship, which will be held in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Furthermore, the top four teams from the A Division (South Korea, Japan, the United States, New Zealand) also secured qualification for the championship. Similar to the men's division, the team with the lowest ranking in the A Division (Australia) faced relegation to the B Division for the subsequent year while the top finisher in the B Division (China) was promoted to the A Division for the 2024 championship.
On September 23, the Kazakh men's and women's team withdrew from the competition. Because the women's team had qualified for the A Division, the Mexican women's team took their place. The empty spot in the B Divisions was filled by the Philippines men's and women's teams who made their first-ever appearance at a World Curling Federation event.
The event faced criticism from the Canadian men's skip, Brad Gushue, for being held in a curling club rather than on arena ice, for not being paid, lack of space for warming up, not being able to view practices, and for not being able wear thermal clothing to keep warm.
The event was broadcast live in Canada on TSN, for the first few days until it was pulled citing "production issues" (games were still shown on the TSN website).
