The 2021 IIHF World Championship is scheduled to take place from 14-23 April 2023. It was originally to be co-hosted by Finland , as the IIHF announced on 19 May 2017.
Their joint bid won by a very tight margin against the Finnish bid with the cities of Tampere and Helsinki. In January 2022, the IIHF decided to remove Belarus as a host due to security reasons. Latvia will remain as a co-host for the time-being.
