Runner-up Boeckenberg KC

The 2023–24 IKF Europe Korfball Champions League is the 2nd edition of IKF's premier competition for Korfball clubs under a new name. PKC/Vertom are the defending champions.

PKC/Vertom successfully defended their title by defeating Boeckenberg KC in the final.[1]

Format

The format was given a few tweaks after feedback from last season.[2]

  • Round 1 – 13 teams are drawn into 2 Round Robin groups, the group winners advance to Round 2, while the teams who finish second and third play the Satellite Cup.
  • Round 2 – 8 teams, plus the two advancing teams from Round 1, are drawn into 2 Round Robin groups, the group winners advance to Champions League, while the teams who finish second and third play the Challenger Cup.
  • Champions League – Originally, 4 automatically qualified teams, plus the two advancing teams from Round 2, are drawn into 2 Round Robin groups of three, the top 2 progress to the semifinals.[3] However, the format changed after the late withdrawal of CC Oeiras. Instead, five teams will play a five team Round Robin group. The winners of the group will be crowned champions.

Withdrawal of CC Oeiras

The top two from each group would've progressed to the semifinals, but the sudden withdrawal of CC Oeiras on 16 January 2024 meant the format changed for the event. Instead, the remaining five teams played a Round Robin to decide the champion.[7][8]
