The league consisted of two phases: a single round of fixtures comprising the regular season, which determined the seedings for the playoff event, the Superfinal, in which the teams then directly contested the league title, with the winners becoming WEBSL champions.

Spain were the two-time defending champions, but lost in the semifinals to Portugal. The title was won by Poland, who claimed their first WEBSL title.[1][2]

Teams

edit

Nine teams enter this season.[a][3][4] Italy enter straight into the Superfinal as hosts.[5]

No teams make their debut this season. Switzerland return after a two-season absence.[3]

The numbers in parentheses show the European ranking of each team prior to the start of the season, out of 10 nations.[6]

Notes
^ a: In accordance with sanctions imposed by FIFA and UEFA in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2021 champions, Russia, have been suspended from participating in the competition since 2022.[7][8]

Regular season (Nazaré, 30 August – 1 September)

edit

Matches are listed as local time in Nazaré, WEST (UTC+1) and are those scheduled; actual kick-off times may differ somewhat.

Draw

edit

The draw to split the eight participating teams into two groups of four took place on 8 August.[10]

Portugal, as hosts, were assigned to the head of Group A, and Spain, as the defending champions, were assigned to the head of Group B. The other six teams were split into three pots of two based on their final placement in the 2023 WEBSL, in order from the highest placing teams placed in Pot 1, down to the lowest placed in Pot 3. From each pot, one team was drawn into Group A and the other team was drawn into Group B.[3]
