The competition is co-hosted by Football Canada and Football Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta in June and July 2024.[1] Although Football Canada has won the most IFAF World Junior Championships with three, the country has not hosted the event since it started in 2009.

The final is scheduled for Commonwealth Stadium, home of the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian Football League.

A tentative qualification fixture was scheduled for February 2024 with  Brazil and  Panama to determine the top South American qualifier.

On 22 January 2024 the Edmonton Local Organizing committee announced that Canada, United States, Japan, Austria, Australia, Panama, Brazil and a undetermined team had stated their intention to compete June 20-30.[3] [4] [5]
