Where to Watch Canada's Mixed Doubles Curling:
Every single curling game, featuring Canada's team or not, can be streamed online at CBC Gem (https://gem.cbc.ca/section/olympics). It's completely free for Canadian residents; all you need is an account. This will be the go-to platform for the women's and men's fours competitions as well.
Some games will be exclusive to CBC Gem, like Canada's first mixed doubles match against Czechia on February 4th at 1:00 p.m. ET. Other Canada-only games on Gem include Session 3 (CAN vs NOR) and Session 5 (CAN vs USA).
Additionally, four of Canada's games and the semifinals will be broadcast on CBC's main network channel (terrestrial TV). These include:
