The 2023–24 Men's Floorball Champions Cup was the 29th edition of the premier competition for floorball clubs and the first in a new format for league and cup winners. The reigning champions were IBF Falun.[1] Tatran Střešovice became the first Czech team to win the cup by beating Falun 6–4 in Prague.[2][3]

Format

[edit]

The format had undergone a new format in the season with the inclusion of the cup winners from all four countries. If the same team wins the league and the cup in their country, the second-place team in the league also takes part.

For quarterfinals the eight teams are divided into two conferences based on their geographical location. The Swedish and Finnish teams take part in the Northern conference; the clubs from the Czech Republic and Switzerland play in the Southern conference. The four winners advance to the semifinals. Quarterfinals and semifinals are played in a home and away format. If a round is undecided after the two matches, the second match is followed by an overtime. The two semifinal winners play in a final held at a centralized venue.
