Slovak canoeists have qualified a maximum of one boat in each of the following classes through the 2015 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships. Matej Beňuš became the first canoeist to be named to the Slovak team based on his performance at two ICF World Cup meets each in La Seu d'Urgell and Pau, and at the World Championships in London. Meanwhile, the remaining canoeists (Grigar, Dukátová, and Škantár cousins) rounded out the internal selection at the 2016 European Championships in Liptovský Mikuláš.
