The2023–24 Champions Hockey League was the ninth season of theChampions Hockey League, a Europeanice hockey tournament. The tournament was competed by 24 teams, with qualification being on sporting merits only. Apart from the reigning champion, the six founding leagues were represented by three teams each, while five "challenge leagues" were represented by one team each.
Swiss teamGenève-Servette HC won their first Champions Hockey League title, defeating Swedish teamSkellefteå AIK 3–2 in the final. This made Genève-Servette HC the first Swiss side to win the title.[4] The title holdersTappara finished 18th in the regular season and did not qualify for the playoffs.[5]
Czech left forwardDominik Lakatoš from Czech teamVítkovice Ridera became the top scorer with 12 points.[2]
Starting from the 2023–24 season the format was changed. The number of teams was reduced from 32 to 24 teams. The group stage was replaced with the regular season in which teams played six games each, with the teams being ranked in overall standings and 16 best-ranked teams advancing to the playoffs.
In the regular season draw, teams were allocated into four pots featuring six teams each. The seeding depends on the teams’ achievements in their national leagues and the respective league’s standing in theCHL league ranking. Each team was drawn against two teams from each of the other three pots.
In the playoffs, teams formed pairs based on the overall regular season standings.[6]
For the first time since the2015–16 season, theIIHF Continental Cup winners did not get a wild card spot.[7]
A total of 24 teams from different European first-tier leagues were scheduled to participate in the league. Besides the title holdersTappara, 18 teams from the six founding leagues, as well as the national champions from Denmark, France, Norway, Slovakia and the United Kingdom participated.[8]
The qualification criteria for national leagues was based on the following rules:[6]
Note: the national league champions of the United Kingdom are distinct from the national champions, who are determined in play-offs following the regular season. In 2023,Belfast Giants won both competitions.[9]
The schedule of the competition was as follows.[1][10]

The participating teams were seeded into Pots A to D according to their achievements in their national leagues and their respective league’s standing in the CHL league ranking.

The top pot also contained the reigning champions of four of the top five founding leagues according to the league rankings (Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and ICE Hockey League), as well as2022–23 Liiga regular season runners-up.[11]
Teams were allocated their opponents based on a pattern in connection to the positions in the regular season grid.

In the playoffs, pairings were formed based on the positions of the teams in the regular season as follows: the team finished 1st in the regular season face the team finished 16th, the team finished 2nd face the team finished 15th, and so on. There were no play-off draw or any reseedings for the quarter-finals and semi-finals. In each round except the final, the teams play two games and the aggregate score decides which team advances. The first leg was hosted by the team with the lower seed with the second leg being played on the home ice of the other team. If aggregate score was tied, a sudden deathovertime follows. If the overtime was scoreless, the team who wins theshoot out competition advances.
The final was played on the home ice of the team with the higher accumulative ranking across the entire campaign, including play-off games.[13]
