The Men's World Floorball Championship is an international floorball competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the International Floorball Federation (IFF), the sport's global governing body. It is distinct from the Women's World Floorball Championship, which is for women's teams. They were preceded by the European Championships which were held twice in 1994 and 1995.[1][2] Originally played in May–June, the IFF decided in 2007 to move the tournament to early-December starting in 2008.[3]

The reigning champions are Sweden, who won their tenth title at the 2022 tournament.[4] Sweden will host the next tournament in 2024.[5]
