The 2025 AMJ Masters was held from September 23 to 28 at the Western Fair Sports Centre in London, Ontario. It was the first Grand Slam event and first major of the 2025âÂÂ26 curling season.
The field included sixty-four teams from thirteen different nations (Canada, China, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Scotland, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States). Of note, all fourteen teams confirmed to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics qualified. It was also the first time since the 2017âÂÂ18 season that both the Chinese men's and women's teams competed in a Slam.
For the first time since 2012, the event featured a Tier 2 bracket, hosted at the St. Thomas Curling Club in St. Thomas, Ontario. The event also held the inaugural GSOC Wheelchair Curling Invitational at the KW Granite Club in Waterloo.
For this event, a number of new rules were implemented:
The Masters consists of two tiers of 16 teams. For Tier 1, the top 16 men's and top 16 women's teams from the World Curling Federation's world rankings based on the final standings of the 2024âÂÂ25 curling season were invited to participate. In the event that a team declined their invitation, the next-ranked team on the world team ranking was invited until the field was complete. Once the Tier 1 field was confirmed, Tier 2 invites were sent out to the next thirteen ranked teams. The final three spots in the Tier 2 event were regional invites sent out to Ontario based teams. The Grand Slam of Curling reserves the right to implement two sponsor's exemption in the Tier 1 men's and women's events in which one spot can be filled at their discretion.

Teams were put into four pots based on their rankings, with teams then drafted into four pools of four teams. Each team plays the three other teams in their pool, plus a cross over game based on their ranking after playing the teams in their pool. Teams in Pool A will play teams in Pool C and teams in Pool B will play teams in Pool D based on their inverse ranking (1st vs. 4th, 2nd vs. 3rd).
Following pool play, the top 8 teams qualify for the playoffs.
