The '''2023 IIHF World Junior Championship''' was the 47th edition of the [[World Junior Ice Hockey Championships]], held between December 26, 2022 and January 5, 2023. It was won by [[Canada]], in overtime of the gold-medal game. [[Czech Republic|Czechia]] won the silver, their first medal since 2005.

The venue was originally scheduled to be [[Novosibirsk]] and [[Omsk]], [[Russia]], but Russia's hosting rights were pulled in February 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The replacement hosts were [[Halifax, Nova Scotia|Halifax]], [[Nova Scotia]] and Moncton, [[New Brunswick]], both in Canada. It was the 18th time Canada has hosted the tournament, and the third consecutively.

The relegation round was revived, after a two-year hiatus due to the 2021 Division I, II, and III tournaments having been cancelled, and in 2022, both Russia and Belarus were automatically expelled from the competition.

In late-March 2022, Sportsnet journalist Jeff Marek reported that the IIHF had considered Canada as a possible host country for the tournament, which would make it the third consecutive World Junior Championship to be hosted in the country (the previous two tournaments have been hosted in Alberta with Edmonton as the main host city, but were held in a "bubble" behind closed doors and postponed to August 2022 respectively due to the COVID-19 pandemic).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Canada asked to host 2023 World Junior Hockey Championship |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/juniors/canada-asked-to-host-2023-world-junior-championship/ |access-date=2022-03-31 |website=Sportsnet.ca |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Saskatoon and Regina submitting joint bid to host 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship {{!}} Globalnews.ca |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/8723411/saskatoon-and-regina-world-juniors-2023-submission/ |access-date=2022-03-31 |website=Global News |language=en-US}}</ref> On May 5, the IIHF and Hockey Canada announced that Halifax and Moncton would be the hosts of the tournament, beating out announced bids by Regina/Saskatoon, Ottawa/Quebec City, and London/Waterloo.
