The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe European Championship 2023 continued with an on-site tournament between the 24 players who qualified in the online rounds.

All rounds of the tournament were held in close succession on October 8, 2023, the second day of the event, starting from 14:00 UTC+1.^[6] The entire event, including the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe finals, was hosted by Nimmer "Nimmz" Riaz and commented by Bowie Alexander and CharlieAstronaut.^[7]^[8] It was also streamed live on Nintendo of Europe's YouTube channels.

Thomas, a competitor from France, won the grand final and is scheduled to compete at the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Championship 2024, where they will represent Europe.^[9]
