The 2016 World Men's Curling Championship was held from April 2 to 10 at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland.

Canada, skipped by Kevin Koe, won its first World Men's Championship in four years defeating the Rasmus Stjerne rink from Denmark in the final, 5–3. The ninth end marked the turning point in the game after Stjerne just missed a double runback raise, leaving Koe with an open draw for two. In the 10th end, Canada third Marc Kennedy made a runback double takeout that dashed any chance for the Danes to come back. Stjerne froze his last rock of the game, but Koe was able to pick it out for the win. It was the first time Denmark had made it to the World Men's finals. The U.S. (John Shuster) won the bronze medal, beating Japan (Yusuke Morozumi) 8–6 in the third place game.[1]
