Current edition

The Hokkaido Bank Curling Classic is an annual bonspiel on the men's and women's curling tour. It is held annually in early August at the Hokkaido Bank Curling Stadium in Sapporo, Japan.[1] The total purse for the event is ¥ 1,700,000 with the winning team receiving ¥ 1,000,000.[2]

Typically this event allows in-person spectators, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, they weren't permitted in 2021 and 2022. In its place they will be providing streaming from their Hokkaido Bank Curling Classic's channel on YouTube.

The event hosted an international field from 2016 to 2019. Following its cancellation in 2020, only Japanese teams attended the 2021 event. In 2022 and 2023, teams from Japan and South Korea competed. Due to construction in the stadium, the event was not held for the 2024 season.
