The 2024 Men's European Water Polo Championship will be the 36th running of the tournament. It will be held in Netanya, Israel from 3 to 16 January 2024.[1] Originally awarded to Tel Aviv in October 2022,[2][3] the host site was moved to Netanya, Israel in March 2023 due to technical challenges surrounding the agreed dates and also to reduce the costs for participating countries.[4]
