Ahead of next week's CHL Draw, the Champions Hockey League can announce the seeding for all 24 teams participating in the upcoming 2023/24 season.

The participating teams have been seeded into Pots A to D according to their achievements in their national leagues and the respective league’s standing in the CHL League Ranking as follows:

CHL Draw Rules

There will be four pots containing six teams each.
Pot A: Teams ranked 1-6 | Pot B: Teams ranked 7-12 | Pot C: Teams ranked 13-18 | Pot D: Teams ranked 19-24; the CHL ranking criteria apply.
Draw order: Teams from pot D will be drawn first, teams from pot A last. After teams are drawn, they are allocated to pre-defined positions in the Regular Season Grid.
The CHL Draw will produce six opponents for each team, two from each of the other pots.
Teams will be allocated their opponents based on a pattern in connection to the positions in the Regular Season Grid. They will always face opponents from the rows above and/or below; and will always play the ones on the left-hand side at home and the ones and the right-hand side on the road.
Two teams from the same league cannot be drawn against each other in the Regular Season.
With the help of software, potential league conflicts are detected during the Draw. Should a league conflict occur then the team in question will be moved to the next available position in the Regular Season Grid.
