The Sweden men's national floorball team is the national floorball team of Sweden, and a member of the International Floorball Federation.
The team won the gold medal at the European Championships in 1994 and ten out of 15 men's world championships (1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2014, 2020 and 2022). They have won silver at every other championship and are the only team that has always played in the final match and are the most successful floorball team overall. Together with Finland, they are the only teams to have ever won a gold medal at the World Championship and also to have won a medal at every European and World Championship as well as at all floorball tournaments at the World Games.
The Swedes recorded their first draw at a World Championship as late as 2006, in a match against Switzerland, and needed sudden victory to defeat Finland in the final. In 2008, Finland defeated Sweden in overtime in final, giving Sweden its first loss in the World Floorball Championships, and causing it not to retain their 12-year title as world floorball champions. Sweden's dominance has decreased somewhat further, as they have won only half of the most recent ten championships. The last loss in 2024 was their first in a home tournament. In the IFF ranking, Sweden is first (ahead of Finland), following a second and first place in the last two championships in 2024 and 2022.
