Шаблон:Infobox sports season The 2023–24 EIHL season is the 20th anniversary season of the Elite Ice Hockey League. The regular season commenced on 23 September 2023, and the final match day will be on 8 April 2024; the playoff quarter-finals will be held over the weekend of 14 April and Playoff final weekend will be held the following weekend.[1]

The season was marred by the death of Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson during a Challenge Cup match between the Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers,[2] held on 28 October, at the Sheffield Arena.[3] Johnson had suffered a cut to his neck by the blade of a skate,[4] and received emergency treatment on the ice before being transferred to the Northern General Hospital, but died from his injuries.[3] The EIHL postponed all scheduled matches for the following day, 29 October,[5] and subsequent matches on 31 October and 1 November were also postponed.[6][7] Teams returned to action on 4 November, with the exception of Sheffield and Nottingham,[7] who returned to the ice a week and two weeks later.

Regular season

League standings

Each team plays 54 games, playing each of the other nine teams six times: three times on home ice, and three times away from home.[8] Points are awarded for each game, where two points are awarded for all victories, regardless of whether it was in regulation time or after overtime or game-winning shots. One point is awarded for losing in overtime or game-winning shots, and zero points for losing in regulation time. At the end of the regular season, the team that finishes with the most points is crowned the league champion, and qualify for the 2024–25 Champions Hockey League. The top eight teams qualify for the playoffs.

Challenge Cup

The Challenge Cup is split into two stages: an initial group stage where the league's ten teams are divided into three groups based on geographical distance – one group of four teams (Group A) and two groups of three teams (Groups B and C). The three group winners, along with the five best remaining teams on win percentage qualify for the knockout stage. The quarter-finals and semi-finals are held over two legs, with a one-off final.[11]
