USA Hockey announced that it will host the 2027 IIHF Under-18 Men's World Championship in Duluth, Minnesota, from April 21 through May 2.
The event will take place at AMSOIL Arena and the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center, featuring 29 games that will showcase top NHL draft‑eligible players from leading hockey nations.
A showcase for the next generation
The tournament will bring together the best under‑18 teams from leading hockey nations.
Looking back at the 2026 edition
The 2026 championship was held in Trencin and Bratislava, Slovakia, and the United States finished fifth after a 3‑0‑1‑1 record, culminating in a 5‑2 quarterfinal loss to Latvia.
The result underscored the competitive nature of the tournament, as several traditional powerhouses were challenged by emerging teams.
Tickets for the 2027 championship will go on sale later this summer, and all games will be streamed online for fans worldwide.
