The 3v3 World Floorball Championships are a tournament for national 3v3 teams from member countries of the International Floorball Federation. They have been held regularly every year since 2024 for both men and women. The first two editions of the tournament were held alongside the Under-19 World Floorball Championships, but it will be held as a standalone event in June beginning in 2026.
The reigning champion in both categories is Switzerland, and Latvia and Finland have each won a title in the men's and women's divisions respectively.
The most recent 3v3 World Floorball Championship in 2025 was hosted in Switzerland, while the next edition in 2026 will be held in Spain.
Format All matches are two halves of 10 minutes each. Group-stage games may end in a draw, but playoff games advance directly to penalty shots. Medal matches may include two minutes of extra time before advancing to the penalty shootout.
There will be 28 men's teams and 23 women's teams competing in the 2026 3v3 World Floorball Championships. There are no qualifications; up to 32 teams may register in each division. The teams are then drawn into groups (A through F for the men, A through E for the women), each consisting of four or five teams. Within a group, teams play round-robin matches against each other.
In the men's division in 2026, the six group winners, six second-place teams, and the four top-ranked third-place teams advance to the 1/8 finals, from which they play a single-elimination bracket to determine a champion. The other two third-place teams and the two top-ranked fourth-place teams advance to a B-Division quarterfinal, with the remaining eight teams going to the B-Division 1/8 finals.
In the women's division in 2026, the five group winners qualify directly to the quarterfinals. The five second-place teams and the best third-place team progress to the 1/8 finals, from which these teams play a single-elimination bracket to determine a champion. The remaining third-place teams qualify to the B-Division quarterfinals, with the remaining eight teams playing in the B-Division 1/8 finals.
Both the men's and women's division will include a bronze medal game between the losing teams of the semifinals.
Format history In each of the first two editions, the 3v3 World Floorball Championships were held alongside the Under-19 World Floorball Championships in early May. Beginning in 2026, the tournament will be hosted as a standalone event in mid-June.
During the 2024 3v3 World Floorball Championships, each nation was allowed to enter up to two teams. This was reduced to a single team from each nation in the 2025 edition. 2025 was the first year to include a bronze medal match.
