List of Finnish bandy champions
Finnish bandy champion is the title given to the team winning the play-off at the end of Bandyliiga, the highest bandy league in Finland.
Bandy was the first team sport, for which a Finnish championship was contested. This was in early 1908 (while the first Finnish championship in association football were played later the same year). The league and the championship are administrated by Finland's Bandy Association.[1]
Finnish Workers' Sports Federation had its own Finnish bandy championship tournament 1924–1955.
