Switzerland and Sweden are headed to Sunday’s gold-medal game at the 2026 European Curling Championships in Ostrava. Switzerland edged Scotland 4-3 with a final-end steal, while Sweden beat Latvia 7-3.

By the Numbers
  • Switzerland 4, Scotland 3
  • Sweden 7, Latvia 3
  • The final is scheduled for 10 a.m. CET on Sunday, Nov. 1.
Yes, But

Switzerland advanced after a close game and said it will need to play better to win gold. Sweden, by contrast, said it found its form early and maintained it throughout its semifinal.

What’s Next

Sweden and Switzerland meet for the women’s title Sunday morning. The men’s semifinals—Italy vs. Czechia and Scotland vs. Sweden—are scheduled for Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CET.

Bottom Line

Switzerland’s late steal and Sweden’s commanding win set up a gold-medal matchup between two teams arriving with very different semifinal tests.
