The 2027 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships will be the 90th such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Teams will participate at several levels of competition based on their 2026 results. The competition will also serve as qualifications for division placements in the 2028 edition.
As in 2026, teams from Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to enter, as they remain suspended by the IIHF due to the countries' invasion of Ukraine.
All lower divisions will play their tournament with two groups, a knockout stage and the winner of the final to be promoted. The last-placed teams of each group will play a two-game series to determine the relegated team.
