How To Watch 2024 World Championships
Get ready for 2024 World Championships with a quick intro and how to watch all the games!
It's that time of year again, the IIHF Women's World Championships!
This year's 10-team tournament will be played in Utica, NY from April 3 - 14.
The Format
The teams are divided into two tiers. Group Play consists of round robin to lead into the Playoff Rounds. All five teams from Group A and the top three teams from Group B will advance.
In the quarterfinals, the top team from Group Play (A1) plays the lowest rank (B3) with the rest following that formula: A2 v B2, A3 v B1, A4 v A5. The teams who lose in the quarterfinal will play placement games with the winner joining Group A in the next tournament.
The winners of each quarterfinal advance to the semifinal with the highest tier/placement team playing the lowest tier/placement then the remaining two teams in the other semifinal. The losers of each semifinal move bronze medal, and the winners advance to the gold medal game.
