The Court of Arbitration for Sport has ordered the International Ice Hockey Federation to let Russian national teams return to five tournaments in the 2026-27 season, overturning the federation's exclusion after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The events include the World Junior Championship in Canada from 26 December, and the men's World Championship in Germany from 13 to 30 May 2027.
