The event was first planned to be held in Madrid,[2][3] but after European Athletics and European Olympic Committee reached to an agreement, the event was added to the 2023 European Games programme and moved to Poland.[4] Madrid will host the 2025 ETC.

Unlike previous editions, individual gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded in addition to the medals and cup in the teams competition as part of the 2023 European Games program. The individual finals will be the events in the First Division only, and the winners and medalists in the individual events will be described as European Games medalists. Events from 100 metres to 800 metres will be run in two heats, with times combined into a single table for the purposes of both points in the Team Championships and medal placings in the European Games.[5]. Officials have indicated that the 16-team version of the Team Championships will become a permanent inclusion in the European Games program, returning in 2027, while stand alone team events will be held in the middle year of the European Games cycle (with the next inter-Games event in Madrid in 2025).[6]

Format change

The competition will consist of three divisions, instead of four leagues, based on the results of the 2021 Championships.[7] 1st Division will compete in the evening sessions of 23–25 June, while 3rd Division in the morning sessions and the 2nd Division in the evening sessions of 20–22 June.
