The 2020 Tim Hortons Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, was held from February 29 to March 8 at the Leon's Centre in Kingston, Ontario.[1] The winning Brad Gushue rink was scheduled to represent Canada at the 2020 World Men's Curling Championship at the Commonwealth Arena in Glasgow, Scotland.
Newfoundland and Labrador's Brad Gushue rink won their third Brier Tankard by defeating Alberta's Brendan Bottcher rink 7–3 in the final. Gushue won the Tankard in 2017 and 2018. Bottcher finished runner-up in the past two Briers as well, losing to Gushue in 2018 and Kevin Koe in 2019.
On Tuesday, March 3, Saskatchewan skip Matt Dunstone curled two perfect games in the same day (Draws 10 and 11) against higher ranked teams Ontario (John Epping) and Canada (Kevin Koe). It was the first time a curler curled two perfect games in the same day in Canadian Men's Curling Championship history.
At the end of the Championship pool round on Friday March 6, four teams were tied for the fourth place berth in the playoffs, requiring three tiebreaker games to determine the final team eligible for the playoff round.[2]
