This was the second time Fort McMurray played host to the Canadian Under-21 Curling Championships.[3] The city previously held the 2013 championship which was won by Manitoba's Matt Dunstone and British Columbia's Corryn Brown. Fort McMurray was also supposed to host the 2021 championship before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being replaced by the 2021 World Junior Qualification Event.[4]

The event featured eighteen teams on both the men's and women's sides, each split into two pools of nine. The top three teams from each pool at the end of the round robin advanced to the playoff round.[2] Based on results from the 2022 and 2023 events, certain provinces earned two berths to the championship. British Columbia, Manitoba, Northern Ontario, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Saskatchewan each earned an extra berth on the men's side, while Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northern Ontario, Nova Scotia and Ontario got two berths on the women's side The host province, Alberta, also earned two teams.[5]
