2026 Rock League Roster: Full Player Lists for All Six Franchises

Full 2026 Rock League Rosters: All 60 Athletes Across Six Global Teams 





The Rock League, curling's groundbreaking first fully professional mixed-gender league, officially unveiled its team names, rosters, and general managers on December 16, 2025. The league, operated by The Curling Group (also behind the Grand Slam of Curling), is set to debut with a condensed "preview" season from April 6–12, 2026, at Toronto's Mattamy Athletic Centre.


This innovative setup features six global franchises, each comprising five women and five men (30 women and 30 men total across the league), creating what organizers call the world's first truly mixed-gender professional sports league. Rosters blend top international talent with up to four imports per team allowed in season one for competitive balance. Strategic advisors like Jennifer Jones and John Morris helped build the lineups to highlight global depth, regional ties, and entertainment value.





Canadian standouts Rachel Homan (Ottawa) and Brad Jacobs (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.) captain the two Canadian squads. Both are also slated to skip for Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina (held in February 2026).
