2024 ECA Canoe Slalom European Championships
VenueTacen Whitewater Course
LocationSlovenia Tacen, Slovenia
Dates15 to 19 May 2024

The 2024 European Canoe Slalom Championships took place from 15 to 19 May in Tacen, Slovenia under the auspices of the European Canoe Association (ECA).[1] It was the 25th edition of the competition. Tacen hosted the event for the third time after previously hosting it in 2005 and 2017.

It was the first major international competition on the Tacen Whitewater Course after the floods in early August 2023, which had caused major damage to the facilities.[2][3]

A new medal event was introduced at these championships, the kayak cross individual, which also served as a qualification time trial for the main kayak cross event. The first titles were claimed by Alena Marx and Vít Přindiš.[4]

The original schedule had to be amended due to high water level of the river Sava on Friday, 16 May. The classic slalom events only had 1 run of qualification with the top 12 paddlers advancing straight to the final, as opposed to 2 qualification rounds, a semifinal and a final.[5]
