The 2023 Men's EuroHockey Championship was a big field hockey tournament for men's teams from Europe. It was the 19th time this championship was held. The European Hockey Federation organizes this event every two years.

The tournament took place from August 19 to 27, 2023. It was held in Mönchengladbach, Germany, at the Warsteiner HockeyPark. A women's tournament also happened at the same time and place.

The Netherlands team won the championship. Because they won, they earned a spot in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Other teams, except for Wales and France, had another chance to qualify for the Olympics in special qualifying games. The top six teams from this tournament also got a direct spot in the 2025 EuroHockey Championship. The teams that finished seventh and eighth had to play in qualifiers for the 2024 EuroHockey Championship. In the final game, the Netherlands beat England to win their seventh title.

How Teams Qualified

Eight teams competed in the men's tournament. Germany automatically qualified because they were the host country. The top three teams from the 2021 EuroHockey Championship also qualified directly. The remaining four spots were filled by the winners of the 2022 EuroHockey Championship Qualifiers.
