Brad Gushue and his team won the 2022 edition and entered as the reigning Team Canada. The event followed the same format at the past two editions that included Team Canada, the fourteen Canadian curling member associations and three Wild Card teams that are the top three teams that did not qualify from their provincial playdowns based on CTRS standings. The competition was held in three stages: all eighteen teams play in a round robin stage, from which six advance to the championship stage, from which four teams advance to the final playoffs round.
This was the final Brier with Tim Hortons as the primary sponsor of the event.
