The 2026 RME New Holland Alberta Men's Summit of Champions presented by Sentinel Storage, the provincial men's curling championship for Alberta, was held from January 5 to 11 at The Murray Arena in Okotoks, Alberta.[1] The winning Kevin Koe rink will represent Alberta at the 2026 Montana's Brier in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[2] The event was held in conjunction with the 2026 Alberta Women's Curling Championship, the provincial women's championship.

Having won the 2025 Montana's Brier, Team Brad Jacobs earned an automatic berth at the national championship. This meant Alberta would qualify two teams for the Brier.[3]
