2024 ECA Canoe Slalom European Championships
Venue	Tacen Whitewater Course
Location	Tacen, Slovenia
Dates	15 to 19 May 2024
← Kraków 2023 Vaires-sur-Marne 2025 →

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]
