The 2024 World Men's Curling Championship (65th) (branded as the 2024 LGT World Men's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held from March 30 to April 7 at the KSS Sports Complex in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.[1] This was the first time a world curling championship had been held in Schaffhausen, as the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship was originally awarded to Schaffhausen before being relocated to Calgary, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was the tenth time Switzerland hosted a world men's or women's curling championship, with the last being the 2016 World Men's Curling Championship in Basel.[2]
The format for the Championship featured a thirteen team round robin. The top six teams qualify for the playoff round where the top two teams receive a bye while the remaining four play in the qualification round to qualify for the semifinals.[3]
