The '''2023 IIHF World Championship''' was co-hosted by [[Tampere]], Finland, and [[Riga]], Latvia. The tournament was held from 12 to 28 May 2023, organized by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF).

As in the 2022 edition, the tournament saw several upsets: Kazakhstan's win over Norway, Hungary's win over France, Latvia's first-ever victory over Czechia, Norway’s second-ever win over Canada, as well as Kazakhstan's first-ever victory over Slovakia.<ref>{{cite web |last=O'Brien |first=Derek |date=15 May 2023 |title=Latvia wins, Batna the OT hero |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/44663/cze_vs_lat |access-date=15 May 2023 |work=IIHF |archive-date=18 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230518094224/https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/44663/cze_vs_lat |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Podnieks |first=Andrew |date=19 May 2023 |title=Kazakhs top Slovakia in record shootout |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/44847/kaz_svk |access-date=19 May 2023 |work=IIHF |archive-date=20 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230520000457/https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/44847/kaz_svk |url-status=live }}</ref> The playoffs also saw major upsets, as Latvia reached the semi-finals for the first time after defeating favourite Sweden 3–1 in the quarter-finals,<ref>{{cite web |last=Podnieks |first=Andrew |date=25 May 2023 |title=Brinums (Miracle) in Riga! |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/45054/swe_lat |access-date=25 May 2023 |work=IIHF |archive-date=25 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230525205101/https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/45054/swe_lat |url-status=live }}</ref> Germany upset Switzerland 3–1 and the reigning Olympic and World Champion Finland lost to Canada 4–1. Czechia finished in 8th place after losing to the United States 3–0 in the quarter-finals, which is that nation's worst placement to date in the history of the World Championship. Germany reached the final for the first time since 1930 after upsetting the top-seeded USA 4–3 in overtime. Finally, this was the first time since 1950 that the medalists did not include at least one of the traditional hockey powers: Sweden, Finland, Russia (and Soviet Union) and Czechia (and Czechoslovakia.)

Canada won its 28th title by beating Germany 5–2 in the final.<ref>{{cite web |last=Podnieks |first=Andrew |date=28 May 2023 |title=Canada rallies to win gold |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2023/wm/news/45424/gold |access-date=28 May 2023 |website=IIHF}}</ref> The silver was Germany's first medal since 1953.

==Host nation bid==
The event was originally planned to be held in [[Saint Petersburg]], Russia, but, in February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) called for Russia and Belarus to be stripped of hosting rights to all international sporting events due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Iveson |first=Ali |date=25 February 2022 |title=Strip Russia and Belarus of events and do not display their flags, says IOC |url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1119754/international-olympic-committee-russia |access-date=26 February 2022 |website=Inside the Games |archive-date=26 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220226050805/https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1119754/international-olympic-committee-russia |url-status=live }}</ref> On 26 April 2022, Russia lost their rights to host the World Championship.<ref>{{cite web|title=IIHF to move 2023 World Championship|url=https://www.iihf.com/en/news/33098/iihf_to_move_2023_world_championship|website=iihf.com|access-date=26 April 2022|archive-date=3 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220503093905/https://www.iihf.com/en/news/33098/iihf_to_move_2023_world_championship|url-status=live}}</ref>
