The 2026 Korean Curling Championships, (branded as the 2026 KB Financial Korean Curling Championships), South Korea's national curling championships, were held from June 11 to 16 at the Uiseong Curling Center in Uiseong, South Korea. The winning teams on both the men's and women's sides became the South Korean National Teams for the 2026–27 curling season. They will represent South Korea at the 2027 World Curling Championships. Both the men's and women's events were played in a round robin format. The top two men's teams advanced directly to the final while the top four women's teams advanced to the semifinals.
The women's event introduced many new teams that had formed following the conclusion of the 2025–26 Olympic season. The biggest shake up came with the dissolution of Kim Eun-jung's Gangneung rink who had previously been together for 17 years. Kim Eun-jung herself moved back to her hometown of Uiseong to skip the young Kim Su-hyeon team while third Kim Kyeong-ae joined the two-time reigning world junior champions Kang Bo-bae from Jeonbuk. Front-enders Kim Cho-hi and Kim Seon-yeong remained in Gangneung and added Ha Seung-youn and Kim Hye-rin as their skip and third respectively. Ha and Kim previously played in Chuncheon with Yang Tae-i and Kim Su-jin who also remained together and rounded out their team with Park You-been and Park Seo-jin. The last lineup that saw a change was Seoul City Hall which was taken over at skip by Kim Ji-yoon following the departure of Park You-been. The only team that remained together was the three-time reigning national champions Gim Eun-ji rink from Gyeonggi.
