The 1928 Macdonald Brier Tankard, the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held February 28–March 2 at the Granite Club in Toronto.

For the first time, a tiebreaker playoff would determine the Brier champion as Alberta, Manitoba, and Toronto all finished round robin play with 7-2 records. Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Gordon Hudson defeated both Toronto and Alberta in the playoff to win the Brier.

Event Summary

After a successful Brier in 1927, the 1928 edition of the tournament was held again at the Granite Club in Toronto. For the first time, teams from Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan brought their own teams to the Brier. This increased the Brier field from 8 to 10 teams, which would last until 1931. In addition, regulation games would be shortened from 14 ends to 12 ends.

After a 7-0 start, it appeared that Team Manitoba would cruise to a Brier championship. But Manitoba would lose their last two games and finish in a three-way tie with Alberta and Toronto with 7-2 records, necessitating a tiebreaker playoff between those three teams. The trustees of the event did not anticipate a three way tie, so had to scramble to devise a format to resolve it. They opted for a round robin between the three teams. Manitoba defeated Alberta 12–7 in the first game, and then beat Toronto in the second game, 10–6 to claim the Brier Tankard. Alberta then beat Toronto 12–11 to finish in second place.
