The Pre-Olympic Qualification Event in curling was held from October 7–11, 2025, in Aberdeen, Scotland. This event served as the last chance for National Olympic Committees to qualify for the Olympic Qualification Event. To be eligible for the Pre-Olympic Qualification Event, a nation must have qualified for either the 2024 or 2025 World Men's or Women's Championships, or have qualified in the A-Division of the 2024 or 2025 European Curling Championship or Pan Continental Curling Championships. Unlike in the previous Olympic cycle in 2021, no Pre-Olympic Qualification Event is being held for Mixed Doubles.
In the men's competition, the three qualifiers were the Philippines, Poland, and New Zealand, while in the women's competition, Czech Republic, Germany, and Australia qualified for the Olympic Qualification Event.
