The 2023 eHockey Finnish Championships are here - are you the next Finnish Champion?

We’re back with the biggest Finnish eHockey event of the year, big cash prizes and bigger Championship titles in both 1v1 and 6v6 on the line! Sign up now to compete among the very best in the 2023 eHockey Finnish Championship.

The competitive NHL 23 season is chugging along nicely and with that the time has come to announce the next season of the eHockey Finnish Championships, licensed by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association. In the eHockey Finnish Championships, there’s obviously a Championship title on the line, but also some big cash prizes with a 10 000€ prize pool, and great Leijonat prize packages for top performers. This could be your time to shine!

Participation requires purchase of an eHockey Pelipassi (purchases made in 2022 are still valid this season) and payment of a participation fee (5€/player). All participation fees go directly into funding the prize pool. Both the eHockey Pelipassi and participation fee can be paid and acquired in the Suomisport-portal.

Starting in late March, this eHockey SM is the second of its sort and one of the cornerstones in the cooperation between SportsGamer and the Finnish Ice Hockey Association. The inaugural season was one full of exciting action and incredible turns of events. In late 2022, Jere @jxrska Laukka was crowned the Champion on the 1v1 side of things, whereas GOONS managed to claim the trophy on the 6v6 side. The reigning Champions will receive invites to the Playoff stage to defend their titles. 

As in previous iterations of the tournament, we’ll play for the title in both the 1v1 and 6v6 game modes of NHL 23. 1v1 will be played strictly on PlayStation 5, whereas 6v6 teams will be able to participate both with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.
