2020 Bandy World Championship


2020 Bandy World Championship will be held in Irkutsk, Russia, between men's national teams among bandy playing nations. It is the fortieth Bandy World Championship. The Division B tournament was held from 1 to 6 March 2020. The Division A tournament was supposed to be held from 29 March to 5 April 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Host selection

The 2019 tournament was originally supposed to be held in Irkutsk in Russia, but the decision was reconsidered
due to a failure to meet the demands on an arena accepted for international play and the tournament was held in Vänersborg in Sweden instead.
For 2020, the new Arena Baikal will be ready for play, and therefore, this year's world championship will be held in Irkutsk. Some games will probably be played in surrounding cities too.
The last time the World Championship was held in Irkutsk, was in 2014.
